63, Fore Street

No. 63 Fore Street is a former county police station, now functioning as a restaurant. It was built in 1873 by H.W. Farley of Exeter. The building is constructed from local New Road squared stone rubble, with dressings made from Forest of Dean stone, and features a hipped slated roof with rendered chimneys on the side walls. It is designed in the Italianate style with Gothic details.

The original plans indicate a double-fronted, double-depth layout. The ground floor included a central entrance passage, a charge room to the left, and a kitchen to the right, with two cells at the rear and a staircase on the right. The upper floor contained five bedrooms. The basement featured another kitchen, a back kitchen, a pantry cellar, a coal store, two wash houses, two privies (one being a two-seater), and an ash pit, along with a yard at the rear.

The exterior of the building is two storeys high with a basement and has a symmetrical three-window front. The central doorway has a segmental arch and hood mould, leading to a four-panelled door. The fanlight above the door displays the name "BEVERLEY" in gilt letters, although it was originally intended to read "POLICE STATION." The date "1873" is carved above the entrance. On either side of the door are two-light windows, with corresponding windows in the second storey, and a single light window above the door. The ground storey windows feature chamfered and stopped mullions, which are replaced in the second storey by columns with enriched capitals. A prominent bracketed stone eaves cornice adds to the building's architectural detail.

The police station was constructed by R. Thorn and J. Hicks of Ilfracombe at a cost of £1,018.10s.0d. The roof was originally intended to be covered with Delabole or Welsh slate, and the interior was to be lit by gas.
