It is believed these are the eldest and youngest brothers – William and Philip – of the Robinson family in the 1920s. They were both Constables. Although the more I look at this picture, the more uncertain I become. Great Uncle William and Great Uncle Philip were 20 years apart in age and yet these two Constables could almost be the same age. They do look alike though so are clearly Kindred Spirits, although I am not sure what they’d think of Debbie’s Kindred Spirits!

  1. great old photo – and you know B, some folks just age gently and I think there could be a difference of 20 years – it is hard to tell.
    But my little sister and my husband both looked so “young” at 35 – they almost looked 22 –

        1. Yes we have quite a few police museums around the country so definitely a few around, and they’re also still used in fancy dress!

    1. It was brilliant wasn’t it yesterday! I’ve literally just got off a Zoom call with Debbie and we were chatting about you 🙂 would 7am on a Saturday be too early for a Zoom chat?

        1. That’s what I thought, but the one on left does look older. I’m wondering if they’re in different constabularies, or maybe cousins rather than brothers!
