A gripping history of law and order in South Wales' bustling docks.

From the 19th century's industrial boom to the challenges of strikes and world wars, explore the evolution of dock policing in Newport, Cardiff, Barry, and Swansea. Discover the rough-and-tumble world of seamen, thieves, and vagabonds, and the dedicated officers who kept the peace.

Uncover the stories of the Bute Dock Police armed with cutlasses, the integration into the GWR Police, and the eventual withdrawal in 1985. This illustrated history reveals a forgotten chapter of South Wales, where the dock copper's beat was a world unto itself. Perfect for local history enthusiasts and those fascinated by maritime and police history.
