Description
The Old Police Station, designed by John Dixon Butler around 1915, is a police station built in red brick with Portland stone dressings and bands, topped with a green slated mansard roof. It is constructed in the Arts and Crafts style of the London County Council. The building has two storeys plus an attic and features three main bays. The entrance, which is square-headed and architraved, is located to the right of the center. To the left, there is a corniced canted bay window with stone architraved square-headed windows, and a similar window is positioned to the right. The first floor has square-headed paired windows without architraves. A cornice rises into a central open pediment at the center of the building. There are also two paired square-headed dormers, which are corniced, and the windows are fitted with sashes and glazing bars.
