Why are these photographs at Bedfordshire & Luton Archives?

Our photographic collection includes thousands of original photographs but also copy prints of photographs in private collections with Bedfordshire relevance.

The second photograph of Bedfordshire police is part of the collection of documents created by the Quarter Sessions and their successors, which included the police. We have a large collection of records about Bedfordshire Police.
