then occupied by Police Constable Henry Moyle, who had been the local bobby for
eighteen years and also Batchley which was then occupied by Sergeant Harold

(Harry) Wright who later left Redditch and returned many years later in the
rank of Superintendent. I think he probably lives locally in retirement and if he

My firm also carried out large alterations to farm buildings at Dormston and

Horne’s Hall Farm , later renamed Robin Hill Farm at Tardibigge, a building later
occupied by Harry Tarleton, a well know retired local builder.

We used to be conveyed around the sites like cattle on the back of lorries, that
is where practice of wolf whistling originated, now, like almost everything else,

illegal.
