Abstract:		 In March 2018 Archaeology South-East (a division of the UCL Centre for Applied Archaeology) carried out a historic buildings record of Hackney Police Station, 2-4 Lower Clapton Road, E5 0PA (NGR: 53509 8531). The work was commissioned by CgMs and requested by The London Borough of Hackney, relating to the proposed creation of a new primary school on the site, which will include the conversion of the station house and demolition of some associated structures (planning ref. 2015/3306). Before the construction of the police station, the land was occupied by domestic housing known as Seymour House, in the ownership of the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA). The police station was built in 1904 to the designs of the Metropolitan Police Service architect, John Dixon Butler. The building was built in a Queen Anne Revival style with influences of the Arts and Craft Movement. It represents one main construction phase, with subsequent major internal and minor external modifications reflecting the changing nature of policing requirements over the last century. The original provision of social and domestic space for officers living 'in house' has given way to the need for more office and storage space. Some elements, such as the cells have seen little change at all. Despite the various modifications, the building retains much of its original character, being impressively designed and well built.
