Old Police Station, Bath
The Old Police Station is a Grade II listed building in Bath, Somerset, England. Completed in 1865, to a design by Charles Edward Davis, it stands in Orange Grove, adjacent (to the southwest) to Bath's Empire Hotel, although it pre-dates that building by around fifty years. The police station opened on 19 January 1866.[1] A 19th-century archway connecting the building to the rear of the adjacent (to the southwest) Guildhall, in which the police station was formerly located, is also listed.[2] The building, which contains a garage for one fire engine, is two storeys high and three bays wide.[3] It became disused when the police station moved to Manvers Street in the 1970s. It became a restaurant in 1998.[2] Today, the building is the home of Browns Bar & Brasserie.[4]
