Description

The police station, built in 1904, is designed in a Neo-Jacobean style and constructed from random coursed squared stone and ashlar, topped with a graduated stone slate roof. The main structure is two stories high and features four bays, with an additional two-bay block at a right angle on the left side of the front. At the rear of the main block, there is a single-storey wing.

The main block has a central board door set within a moulded chamfered quoined surround, topped by a 4-centred arch. This door is flanked by chamfered 4-light mullion-and-transom windows that have central major mullions. To the right of the main entrance, there is a small one-light chamfered window with an arched head. A moulded string course runs along the first floor, stepping above the door. Above the central 2-light chamfered mullion window, there are two 4-light chamfered mullioned windows, also with central major mullions. The eaves are bracketed, and there are two ridge stacks.

The left wing, which serves as a courthouse, has a plinth and features a large 4-light chamfered mullion-and-transom window on both floors of its left return. There is also a board door in a chamfered surround with a 4-centred arch and a hoodmould. The first floor has a 4-light chamfered mullion window, and this bay is gableted. The gable end includes a 4-light chamfered mullion window and a small one-light opening with an arched head to its right. Above this, there is a coat of arms set within a Doric surround, supported by consoles and pilasters topped with obelisks, with a frieze and cornice. The frieze bears the inscription 'Pax et Justitia', and below the coat of arms, it states 'Court house erected AD 1904'. The left return of the main block features a full-height gabled porch with a board door in a chamfered moulded surround and a 4-centred arch. The main block has two ridge stacks, and there is one at the rear.
