Description:Orginally built in 1858 as a savings bank, Penkridge Library stands on Bellbrook, at its junction with Cannock Road in Penkridge. By the 1880s it was in use as a police station, which included a Court Room for the Penkridge Petty Sessions (police courts), two prison cells, and accommodation for a sergeant and a constable.

When the new police station was built, the building was converted and opened as Penkridge Library on 7 July 1970.
