LONDON ROAD 21 second pair of semi-detached houses
Built between 1841 & 1851

EX SUPERINTENDENT JOHN COLE April 1910
The death of Mr John Cole occurred at his residence, No 21 London Road. “A man of sterling integrity, beloved and respected
by a very large circle of friends”. He was born at Tannington, in Suffolk, on February 8th 1826. The son of a small farmer, he
joined the Suffolk Constabulary in 1845, at which time there were two Forces in Suffolk - East anmd West - Yoxford being
theheadquarters of the East. He remained there three weeks, when he was sent to Woodbridge, where he was stationed for
twelve months, at the end of which he was ordered to Bungay. Whilst at Bungay he was promoted to first-class constable, and
was then sent back to Woodbridge, where he stayed till May, 1851, when he was transferred to Wrentham. Whilst at Wrentham
he was instrumental in bringing to justice three men whom he detected robbing a barn at midnight. They were convicted at the
Quarter  Sessions, at Beccles, and sentenced to twelve months’ hard labour each. For his action in this affair Mr. Colewas
preesented with a purse containing £14, subscribed by the gentry and farmers of the district. He remained at Wrentham for
nearly nine years. In February, 1860, he was promoted to the rank of Sergeant and removed to Beccles, where he took up his
residence, first in Smallgate, and afterwards, when the old gaol was dismantled as a county prison and adapted for the purposes
of a police station, he went into residence there. It was while at Beccles that he received further promotion to the rank of first-
class inspector. During this period, East & West Suffolk were united under onepolice jurisdiction, and a vacancy occurring at
Ixworth, in West Suffolk, Mr Cole was appointed there in 1879, with the rank of Superintendent. He was at Ixworth for 17 years
and retired to Beccles & lived at 21 London Road for 16 years until his death at the age of 84.
He was a member of the Congregational Church in Beccles. He had been a total abstainer for 50 years.
