The Five Stone Steps Description
The Five Stone Steps
Tom Duncan, a Scot, joins the South Shields Police fresh from the
trenches after the Great War. Little does he realise, when he first
walks down the five stone steps into Keppel Street Police HQ
(pictured opposite), that fifty years later he will be writing his
memoirs at his desk by the fire, a glass of malt at hand. He tells
of his early days as a bobby on the beat in Shields - tales of life
and love in a major seaport, shipbuilding, and coal mining town
where people liked their beer, their bets, and stuck together in
the face of poverty and adversity. South Shields born John Orton
brings to life the memoirs of a Shields bobby in the 1920s and
gives an authentic picture of his home town, its character and its
characters nearly a century ago.
