My Dad William George Spencer (he was called Mark by everyone)was in the Ambulance Service. Any info on him please?

The one in the middle was my brother John Heywood known as Johnny

i thnk the one on the right is a cousin of my mothers,jackie burnett

The Ambulance Station wasn't manned after hours, there was a push button next to the door for emergencies, presumably connected to the emergency services. Not many phones then.

In the late fifties a young man was found on the floor here, he had been stabbed, must have tried to ring the bell. I think he was dead or died soon after being discovered.

Remember Jonny Heywood & Eric Jones 's dad on the right,

Regarding the stabbing, I have been told that one Edwin Towns was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 8 years in prison.
