The following are examples of stories from the digitised section of the Booth collection at the LSE, describing some places of interest visited on walks with police officers in the period of the late 1890's.

Description of Cheslea Hospital and Burton's Court from Walk with Inspector Andrews, District 26 [Chelsea], 1 March 1899 in Booth B362, pp119-121. Transcription: The map shows that the district is well off in terms of open ground. Burton Court is not open to the public except in the summer when cricket matches are on: but the grounds of Chelsea Hospital are open and even in winter the beautiful lime walk with it's numerous seats is a pleasant and restful spot quite unlike anything else in London. I had never been through it before and as we passed through it I could have imagined myself in Oxford rather than in London
