| Description |
This is the red brick Acocks Green Police Station on Yardley Road in Acocks Green. Going past it on the bus (when I went to old Yardley), I saw this and other interesting buildings that I knew I had to come back sometime and take. This one does kind of look like a local council building more than a police station that it is now. It is locally listed as Grade B. It was built in 1909 for Yardley Rural District Council. It includes a Courthouse. Made of red brick and terracotta with a tile roof. Two-storeys. Almost symmetrical elevation to Yardley Road. Central section with rusticated ground floor, above which is a central pedimented bay with flanking projecting bays with segmental pediments. To either side are two-storey canted bays. Sliding sash windows throughout. On corner with Alexander Road is an octagonal turret with lead dome and keyed ocular windows. Low boundary wall with mould terracotta coping. Have a look at the below link for information on this and the other buildings around here. <a href="http://aghs.jimdo.com/built-environment/local-list/" rel="nofollow">Acocks Green locally listed buildings</a> A lantern with the West Midlands Police badge / arms. |
