1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: Former Sidcup Police Station, Circa 1900 This evocative black-and-white lantern slide captures the former Sidcup Police Station, a single-story building nestled between taller structures now converted into shops. The image, part of the extensive Boswell Collection, transports us back in time to the early 1900s in the Kent area of Bexley. The photograph showcases the rich history and changing topography of the local environs. The former police station, with its unassuming presence, once stood as a beacon of law and order in the community. Its modest design, now dwarfed by the surrounding buildings, offers a stark contrast to the bustling commercial district that has evolved around it. The lantern slide, a relic from the 1900s, provides a unique and precious view into the past. The image invites us to ponder the stories and memories that were created within the walls of the former police station. We can only imagine the sights and sounds that once filled the air as officers went about their duties, ensuring the safety and security of the community. As we gaze upon this snapshot of history, we are reminded of the ever-changing nature of our surroundings and the importance of preserving the past for future generations. The former Sidcup Police Station, now a quiet corner in the bustling commercial district, continues to hold a significant place in the area's history and topography. This lantern slide, with its intriguing glimpse into the past, offers a valuable contribution to our understanding of the local history and the evolution of the Sidcup area.
