I think the officer in plain clothes is Bilsborough. The caption on the back reads: Opening of 1st Police House, Newtown, July 1950 "At long last!!!" - perhaps Bilsborough was allotted that house?

The officer second left could be Inspector James Hargreaves.
See items #: 16617 and #: 16618 in the police album.

Memories fade, but my Mum and Dad lived in one of the police houses in Norfolk Street during the 50"s and 60's. I don't recognise this location as our street though. Murphy and Staniforth lived in the two police houses.
