Abstract:		 The police station was built in the 1930s. Several other police stations in Suffolk bear striking similarities of design. The building's red-brick southern façade is almost unaltered and represents an imposing piece of architecture in the Arts and Crafts style, with Crittall windows and a canted central porch in stone. A detached police house to the east is of the early 1960s. The interior initially consisted largely of residential accommodation. A mess and recreation room lay to the right of the entrance with a kitchen immediately to the rear, and the left-hand section was a self-contained flat. The charge room and two cells in the eastern rear wing of the U-shaped structure have remained unaltered, but the rest of the building was altered. Both rear wings were shorter originally, with hipped rear gables and single-storied projections, but the latter were subsequently provided with upper storeys. The hipped former rear gables can still be seen. A juvenile detention cell was added in 1966 and the steel cell doors replaced in 1983. The layout of the police house is typical of contemporary domestic houses but has been converted into offices. Apart from its fine, uniform array of Crittall windows the only principal internal features to survive from the 1930s are the staircases at both ends of the building. The eastern stair was for lower ranks and is utilitarian, but its western counterpart boasts a moulded wooden hand rail with distinctive finials that were surely intended to resemble policemen's helmets.
