Born in 1909, John Ashmore trained as a Lithographic Artist and worked as a Surveyor and Planning Draughtsman in the City Engineers Department in Leeds before the war. During the war, John was a Civil Defence Staff Officer and was a member of the West Riding Special Constabulary from 1936 until 1973. With respect to this service the Archive holds many artefacts including John's Special Constable's uniform, notebooks, a Home Guard Pocket Manual and ID card.

The Centre is delighted to have close links with Barbara Dawson, John Ashmore's elder daughter, who is a valued Friend and supporter of the Centre and who generously presented us with her father's impressive collection of memorabilia.
