Walking for Heritage; Digbeth Police Station


This blog posts continues the Walking for Heritage route. The previous post can be read here

From the Typhoo Tea Factory, follow the route of the walk (Fazeley St, New Canal St, Meriden St, Coventry St, Allison St, Digbeth High Street]. The police station is on the corner on your left. You will also pass a second ‘art house’ on the way.

The Digbeth police station is a grand building, designed by Henry Stilgoe (the City Surveyor) in 1911. I can’t find much more information about its history, which is a shame. If anyone knows of any then do let me know! This police station is still in use today.


As I was walking down Allison St, I saw the police station (pretty awesomely) reflected in the windows of the building opposite!
