The Old Constabulary Building is a historic structure with a distinctive, traditional design, built in the early 19th century. The building has a Georgian-style façade of red brick construction, featuring symmetrical sash windows and a central doorway entrance with feature wording above, marking its historical use as a police station. There is a more modern extension to the rear and the building is currently vacant. Set on two floors and a large basement. The Centre block is set back in the courtyard of The County Hall, to the rear of both The County Constabulary and the Judge’s Lodgings, accessed from Angel Street.
