Abstract: |
In October 2017 Archaeology South-East (a division of the UCL Centre for Applied Archaeology) carried out a historic buildings record of the former Police Station and Hay Loft (Stable), at 43 Sparrows Herne, Bushey, Hertfordshire, WD23 1AF (NGR: 513922 194625). The work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting and requested by Hertsmere Borough Council, to be addressed as a condition placed on planning consent concerning the conversion of the buildings for residential use, in addition to other works across the site. The conversion of the structures has been completed, as such the recording work comprises a record of the site as-existing and prior to alteration. With the pre-existing information based primarily on a site visit conducted in 2013 by CgMs Consulting as part of a Heritage Statement produced for the site (CgMs Consulting 2013). Bushey Police Station was constructed between 1883 and opened in 1884, on land previously occupied by terraced housing. Historic mapping and plans identify that the hay loft (Stable) was constructed by 1889 and its matching fabric indicates that it formed part of the initial design. The station replaced an earlier police station, which was located 26 High Street. It was constructed to cater for a rapid growth in the population of Bushey caused by the introduction of the London to Birmingham railway which ran through the town. |
