Description

The police station, built in the early 20th century, is constructed from coursed squared tooled sandstone with ashlar dressings and features a graduated Lakeland slate roof with stone elements. It is designed in a neo-vernacular style that aligns with local building traditions. The building has two storeys and three bays, with a slightly irregular layout. At each end, there is a studded plank door with long hinges, set in a hollow-chamfered alternating block surround topped with a lobed lintel. Above the north door, there are the arms of King Edward VII. The windows are wood mullioned, with three and four lights, and those on the ground floor are transomed. There is also a small window to the left of the south door. The eaves are supported by shaped wood brackets, and the gables feature copings and kneelers, with corniced stacks located at the centre and ends of the building.
