Description

The police station on Lee High Road is an early 20th-century building that stands two storeys tall with an attic and features five windows. It is constructed of red brick with stone dressings. The high-pitched tiled roof is notable for its five tall brick chimneys, which are banded in stone and topped with brick cornices, and has a gable over the right bays.

At the second floor level, there is a main entablature with a heavy modillion cornice. The wall between this entablature and the overhanging eaves supports four large, pedimented half-dormers that break the eaves. A string course is present at the first floor cills. The first-floor windows have moulded and chamfered reveals, with their heads set into the architrave band of the main entablature.

The ground floor features a stone band, and the two left windows are set in shouldered architraves. Between these windows and the porch, which overlaps slightly onto the projecting right bay, is a round window in a keyed architrave. The stone porch is designed with battered diagonal buttresses, a mutule cornice, a parapet, and a segmental entrance arch. The right-side ground and first-floor windows are arranged in a canted bay.

Local climate

Police Station sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 96% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 99% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 52% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
