No. 22 Autobiography
Old Nick.
This building in the Bridgend Town Centre has recently been a pub and club but in 1971 it was my first Police Station posting. The building holds many fond and humorous memories far too many to mention here. Couple of the most prominent were the fear and respect for the management. Can recall an old Superintendent sending the young probationer to fetch his echo and when I asked him for the money he all but threw me out of the first floor window. Sunday mornings were a treat had to mop out and disinfect all the cells and wash the cars. There were also many fables and fantasies connected to the Nick one that was definitely untrue was there was no underground passage from the station to the Castle pub across the road. That also holds many fond memories
