Description

The Central Police Station in Bristol, dated 1928, was designed by Ivor Jones and Percy Thomas. It is built from limestone ashlar and features a roof that is not visible. The building has an axial plan with wings at each end and is designed in a stripped Neo-Georgian style with Mannerist details. It stands two storeys tall and has a 12-window range. The nearly symmetrical front has curved ends and short returns, adorned with a fluted frieze and parapet. The centre of the facade is raised and set forward, featuring a central scroll inscribed with "Bristol Police Station."

A large central Mannerist doorway is set within a semicircular-arched recess, complete with a moulded architrave that includes Gibbs blocks and five massive stepped keys. This doorway leads to double 24-panel studded doors, topped with a fanlight. The windows are plain and fitted with metal glazing bars, while the first floor to the left is windowless. The right-hand return has seven windows. The interior has not been inspected. This building shares its design with the Police Headquarters nearby.
