Description

The Old Police Station and Magistrates Court is mainly a single-storey building, with an attic in the police station. It is constructed of rubble with freestone dressings, which are lighter in the magistrates court. The court features deep red brick voussoir arches, and at the corners, there are unusual ramped buttresses below the sill band. The roofs are covered with slate and include decorative cresting and a dog-tooth eaves band on the right. To the left, there is a gabled cross range, while the taller magistrates court on the right has a gablet roof with iron finials and a conical ventilator.

The police station has twinned horned sash windows on both floors, featuring relieving arches and chamfered jambs. A distinctive porch is inscribed with 'Police Station', and the right side steps inwards above the impost to reveal a Caernarfon Arch-derived entrance, where the shoulders are roll-moulded. The door is a studded, pointed arch. In the center, there are three grouped windows with Caernarfon arched heads and latticework bars over the glazing.

The magistrates court has a gabled porch with a freestone dog-toothed pointed arch above a flatter brick arch, and the label and dog-toothed ornament return around the left side. The doors are also studded and pointed arch. On the right side, three windows are grouped under a continuous label, featuring red brick pointed arches over horned 12-pane sashes with stop-chamfered jambs. There is a lattice work ventilation panel in the gablet, and three similar but ungrouped windows on the right side, with slate hanging at the rear.

The forecourt is enclosed by a rubble wall with a roll-moulded band.
