This
Grade II Listed building, located on
Addington Road, behind the Bow Police
Station, was built in the 1930s. It
is home to the station's stables above
which are two flats intended for married
officers. When it was listed in
2009, the comments said that, " ...
The
style is pure Moderne in white
concrete with the curved corners,
horizontal windows and flat roofs
characteristic of that style. The
building is U-shaped at ground floor
with a stable to the rear and two
projecting wings containing further
stables, tack rooms and other
functional spaces. In between the
two wings is a central yard with a
concrete canopy overhead. The stable
is skylit and retains its original
stall partitions and floor surfaces.
There is also a tall chimney, which
originally served the forge. The
upper floor, stepped back from the
ground floor, comprises two flats
for married police officers and is
reached by flights of steps, one at
each end of the building's
frontage."
