The Old Police Station And The Old Police Station Dental Practice

The Old Police Station and The Old Police Station Dental Practice is a building that was originally a prison, constructed in 1816 and later remodeled as a police station in 1854, with an extension added in 1902. It is built of English bond brick, with some original stone architraves still visible. The roof is slate and hipped, featuring corbelled brick eaves courses. The building has brick axial stacks with heightened shafts.

The layout is rectangular, with the entrance located to the right of the center on the northwest front, and a bowed bay at the rear southeast. The police station was remodeled in 1854 and extended with a single-storey addition at the southwest end in 1902. The main range has been converted into a dwelling, while the extension is now used as a dental surgery.

The exterior is two storeys high and features an asymmetrical four-window northwest front. The right-hand bay projects forward and includes a four-centred arch recess with an original stone door frame, hoodmould, chamfered arris, barred fanlight, and a studded door with a grille. The windows are four-pane sashes, likely installed in 1854, with gauged red brick flat arches. To the right, there is a single-storey extension with a gable tablet inscribed "CC 1902."

On the rear southeast elevation, there is a full-height two-storey bow to the left of center, with plain stone window architraves. The first floor has two windows and one to the right, featuring small-pane iron-frame windows. The stone architraves and the first-floor architrave to the left have later casements, and there is a single-storey range and outshut on the right.

Inside, at least part of the first floor is supported by brick vaulting. Historically, Tewkesbury Gaol was built to replace the Abbey belfry used as a gaol, and it is noted that a treadmill was in operation there in 1828. The gaol was closed in 1854 and remodeled into a police station, with further extension by the County Council in 1902.
