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!
