Kidsgrove Police Station was built in 1969. A painting of it was formerly in the collections of the Staffordshire Police Museum, and is now part of the Staffordshire County Art collection and can be seen at the following link. (visit link)

In 2012 the police force moved from its station on Ravenscliffe Road in Kidsgrove, into the town hall in a bid to save money and create better links with partner agencies. (visit link)

The building was sold and has been converted into apartments. The apartment block is now named TOPS Apartments.
'Change of use from the former Kidsgrove Police Station to Residential - forming 6 no. one bedroom apartments and 3 no. two bedroom apartments with recladding of the building, the demolition of a garage and the construction of an entrance porch.' Source: (visit link)

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!)
