Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Kier Construction (Southern) to produce a Level 3 (analytical) historic building record of the former Police Station on the south side of Madeira Road, Bournemouth, Dorset. The building lies within the proposed development site of Livingstone Academy on land at Madeira Road and Stafford Road. A planning application and application for Listed Building Consent are currently under consideration for the redevelopment of the site. The proposal involves the demolition of the former Police Station and this historic building record was required in response to draft planning conditions issued by the Local Planning Authority. The former Police Station is a purpose-built Police Headquarters and divisional station designed by borough architect John Burton and opened in September 1956. The building predominantly dates to the 1950s but retains and incorporates the cell block from an earlier police station which opened in 1869 on the same site. It also includes some 1970s and 1980s extensions and alterations. The two cell blocks to the rear of the building were constructed circa 1923-33 and 1974-78 and there is possibly a remnant of 1890s phase fabric at lower ground level. A previously external wall is fossilised within the building. This historic building record was carried out on 1-2 July 2019 and comprises a Level 3 (analytical) record of the former Police Station. Research sources at the Bournemouth Library, Dorset Police Archive, BCPC archives and online were consulted to better understand the history and development of the site. |
