PC Reg Wood used to live opposite us and his two daughters used to walk me to school on Gurnell St when I was 6/7 years old.
There’s a book called Scunthorpe in Old Photographs by David J Taylor. On page 118 is a picture of the model traffic area with PC Wood pointing out the fundamentals of the pushbike to a group of children. Yours truly is on the far right!
He was a recipient of the British Empire Medal I believe (Reg Wood, not me!).
