This Grade II Listed
police station building was designed by John
Dixon Butler and completed in 1903.
The comments at the time of its listing
described it as, "... A red brick building in
the Neo-Baroque style with stone
dressings, slate roof and tall brick
chimneys. It has a handsome six window
bay façade to Bow Road of two storeys
plus a tall mansard attic with a stone
balustrade between the prominent
mullioned, pedimented dormers.
... The
regularity of the elevation is only
interrupted by the off-centre stone
porch with Dixon-Butler's
characteristic triangular pediment and
elongated swelling brackets. Its
lintel is inscribed '.POLICE.' and
there is a date stone on the left-hand
plinth." One
hundred and eleven years later the building
is still an active police station.
