General notes
In 1929 the Chief Constable of Accrington recommended that the time had come for the establishment of a motor patrol in the Borough. Two members of the forces, John Edgar Curson and Matthew Walling, were designated as motor patrol constables although only one of them was on duty at any time. The constables used their own motorcycles and were paid 5 shillings per week for the use and maintainence of the machines, plus the cost of petrol and oil. Later in the year this was increased to 10 shillings per week.
