Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited was commissioned by Resco Investments Ltd to undertake an Historic England Level 3 historic building recording of the former Barking Police Station, Ripple Road, London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, prior to its partial demolition. The survey was undertaken on the advice of the Historic England Greater London Archaeological Advisory Service and as a requirement of an archaeological condition attached to planning permission 15/00658/FUL. The survey has shown that Barking Police Station and its adjacent Stable Block were contemporary buildings purpose-built in 1910 to the designs of John Dixon Butler, a Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects and surveyor to the Metropolitan Police Force. The new station, part of the Metropolitan Police Forces K Division covering much of east London, replaced a former smaller station in North Street. It was built on a plot of land purchased for £825 from Mr J.W. Glenny in 1906 and was finally opened in September 1910. The building remained in use as a police station serving the local community until its closure in 2014. During this 104 year period neither the station nor the adjacent stable block were enlarged or altered externally beyond superficial changes. However, the evolving needs and requirements of the service had a significant impact upon its internal spatial integrity and, despite the notable survival of fenestration, there has been an extensive loss of fixtures and fittings. |
