Somerset and Bath Constabulary was a short-lived police force in England from 1967 to 1974. It was created as a merger of the Somerset Constabulary and Bath City Police and covered the administrative county of Somerset and the county borough of Bath. It was amalgamated under the Local Government Act 1972 with Bristol City Police and parts of the Gloucestershire Constabulary to form the Avon and Somerset Constabulary.
Famous quotes containing the words somerset, bath and/or constabulary:
“The complete life, the perfect pattern, includes old age as well as youth and maturity. The beauty of the morning and the radiance of noon are good, but it would be a very silly person who drew the curtains and turned on the light in order to shut out the tranquillity of the evening. Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.”
—W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)
“But in philosophy, sometimes the baby ought to go out with the bath water.”
—A.P. Martinich (b. 1946)
“When constabulary duty’s to be done,
A policeman’s lot is not a happy one.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
