bigjarofwasps Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) Thought it might be interesting to see what the oldest nick forum members have ever been based at? Wonder what the oldest nick in the country is? Here's my humble contribution, 1891. Inside it's been completely refurnished, but the exercise yard still remains intake.

Deelibob Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 My Oldest Station was Westminster Road, Liverpool. Built 1885. Initially "E" Division Liverpool City Police, "B" Division Liverpool and Bootle Constabulary and later "A" Dvision Merseyside. Closed 1984 (Pity it didn't make a century) Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjarofwasps Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) Was surprised to learn (according to Google, anyway) that, the oldest operational police station in London is in Wapping, which opened in 1908!

bigjarofwasps Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 In all seriousness, I think my humble contribution, might in fact be a real contender for the oldest still operational nick in the UK? Unless anyone can out trump me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I was here a couple of years Charing Cross, Agar Street WC2. Built as the Charing Cross Hospital in 1831. Moved to its new site in Hammersmith in the 70's and this site became derelict. Re opened as a nick in the early 90's. A bit of cheat but still!

bigjarofwasps Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 Another contender is Conwy Station, which was built in the 1860’s and is documented on Black’s guide to North Wales dated 1869. It’s still an operational station today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With so many of these old nicks have closed down now, the really old still operational ones are few and far between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
