Law & Order is very important to any community and over the years Coxhoe has been lucky to have good Police presence based in the village. Mr. J. Johnson was a long standing servant to the village where he was awarded the ‘Wilkinson Trophy’ for bravery. Jimmy settled in the village and retired here.

Most of Coxhoe Industrial involvement was based at Steetley Quarries’, as mining went into decline and I have again featured photographs and an outline of Coxhoe people who worked for the Company. I have also included photographs of as many Coxhoe people as possible in this edition.

Bobby Bates was a brilliant strong, feather weight boxer who was bred and born in the village; I have been lucky enough to acquire a copy of his fight record which was very impressive and which I have included in the book.

I have enjoyed every minute of producing this volume of books and I hope that in some way I have recalled pleasant memories of many Coxhoe & Ex. Coxhoe people I would very much welcome any feedback or comment from the books. Mainly for this reason I have arranged to have many Coxhoe photograph’s on a ‘Web Site’, with also a comment and news section which will be updated monthly. Any events or news of Coxhoe can be posted on the site.
