Abstract:		 A level 2 building and photographic survey was undertaken of a 1970s magistrates court building in advance of its proposed demolition and redevelopment of the site for student accommodation and commercial units. The historic building survey has revealed that the former Magistrates Court was constructed of concrete with a steel framework, and with internal walls of brick and concrete. The building was designed on seven levels, a basement, a ground floor (which was utilised largely for car parking and the transportation of prisoners, with the First, Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth floors providing spaces for the court rooms, offices, waiting rooms and prisoner and magistrate's areas. Internally, each of the floors appears to have continued to serve the same functions as originally planned. Public and staff areas were clearly defined particularly in the finish applied to the stairways. There was also a clear distinction between the areas utilised by the magistrate's, the public and the prisoner's; this was particularly evident by the way the magistrate's and prisoner's staircases were located beside each other, but the access arrangements did not allow for either to cross paths. Some original features survive within the building, however it has suffered from bouts of vandalism. The exterior of the former Magistrate's Court was subject to the 'See No Evil' street project, and as a consequence the street art has been photographed as part of the historic building survey
