1, Queens Road

No. 1 Queens Road is a former police station, now used as offices, built around 1880 with 20th-century alterations. The building features yellow stock brick laid in Flemish bond, with orange brick dressings and a terracotta door hood. The roof is Welsh slate with lead roll hips, and there are yellow brick chimneys with red bands and oversailing courses.

The exterior is two storeys high. The ground floor has an orange brick plinth and a recessed central doorway with a splayed intrados and an orange rubbed brick semicircular arch. Above the door is a scrolled, pedimented hood supported by moulded consoles. The half-glazed timber door has two lower panels with bolection moulded surrounds. On either side of the doorway are paired 12-pane sash windows, which are recessed and set within orange brick surrounds with concealed boxes. The first floor features similar squat proportioned sash windows with sandstone sills, located just above an orange brick plat band. Decorative features above include a slim roll header course, a moulded dentil course, and an upper roll. The building has orange brick quoins at the corners and a moulded brick cornice below the eaves fascia.

To the right of the main building is a single-storey outbuilding with a hip roof, constructed of yellow brick above orange brick plinths. To the left, there is a rusticated Portland stone entrance gateway leading to the yard, along with single-storey outbuildings of yellow brick above orange brick plinths, featuring a parapeted roof.

Historically, this building was constructed as the Hertford Police Station and reflects the Queen Anne revival style, particularly evident in the design of the central doorway. It was also intended to complement the early 18th-century facade of Bailey Hall, located on the adjoining site to the east.
