Description
Former Burnham Police Station at 77-79 Stomp Road. Neo-Georgian combined police station and magistrates court comprising a symmetrical frontage of 12 bays arranged 1:3:4:3:1 comprising a central pedimented court with two storey pavilions to either side linked by single-storey ranges. The building is built of red brick with rusticated brick quoins and hipped plain tile roof. Porches located either side of the central court with brick arched opens, cornice and carved stone signs bearing 'Police Station' to the west and 'Court Entrance' to the east. The pavilions have separate entrances and had likely originally comprised accommodation. Building assessed in 2014 as having medium architectural historical significance, with a high risk of demolition, and in good structural condition. (B1).
Built in 1928-9, closed in March 2013 and demolished in March 2015. The police station housed a magistrates court in the eastern wing and a small juvenille court towards the back, with police officer living quarters in the two storey blocks (B2).
