Abstract:		 Historic Building Recording was undertaken of Tipton Police Station, Sandwell, West Midlands (NGR SO 965 924). It was undertaken on behalf of West Midlands Police, who intend to demolish the existing police station building and construct a new police building for which a planning application has been submitted. The project aimed to 'to establish the origins, chronology, technical history and significance of Tipton Police Station'. Tipton Police Station was constructed in 1864-65 as a police station on the ground floor and magistrate's court on the first floor. It was a five-bay symmetrical building with decorative corbels, string courses and Stafford Knot. It was constructed by a local builder with locally made materials and incorporated tie rods during the building, as it was constructed on land susceptible to subsidence. The building was little changed during its life with the only major change being to the Magistrate's Court following its disuse in the 1960s. The disuse and blocking off of the cells in the 1920s and1960s meant that they remained intact including the original wooden benches and toilets of 1892. Later extensions were added to the building in the 1880s and in the 20th century, possibly the 1950s.
