Description: | This building was constructed as a prison in 1770. The problems of rising crime led to a full-time paid police force being established in the 1820s, although it was not until the late 1850s that constables were employed in all parts of the country. This building became a police station in 1878. | Subjects: | Hipped Roof Archway Crime And Punishment Sash Window Quoin Police Station Prison Civic | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Davies, J O | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
