Longton Police Station - Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. - Police Stations on Waymarking.com

Glover's brewery was on this Sutherland Road site originally, until Joules of Stone bought them out in 1903. The police purchased the brewery from Joules, demolished it, and built the original Longton Police Station in 1905. The building was later demolished in 1992. (visit link)

A new purpose built police station was built on the same site. The new police station incorporates the door and the date stone from the original station. (visit link)

The 1905 date stone of the original Longton Police Station incorporates a Stafford knot - one of the few examples which is correctly executed - going from the top left, the first strand of rope should cross OVER the other rope and not UNDER as shown on the majority of Stafford knots.

I have had NO problems with taking photos of Police stations but please respect the fact that some services may be nervous about having their photo taken and inquire as to why... I have found that once things are explained they are more than happy to let me photograph the building, crest, chief... (they are people too!)
