Description:On the left is Eastgate House, which at the time of this photograph was the Chief Constable's Office. A policeman and police car stand outside. Eastgate House was built in 1683 for General John Dolphin. The house was refronted in the early 19th century and a rear wing was added in the late 19th century. It was later the Chief Constable's Office and then the Registrar's Officer's office. The motorcycle parked behind the Rover saloon car is a Royal Enfield, fitted with an optional “Airflow” touring fairing and matching front mudguard both moulded in glass-fibre, and available from late 1958, on various machines from the Redditch, Worcestershire, factory. Similar such fairings, offering the everyday rider excellent weather protection, were e very popular in the late1950s and early 1960s.
