Description:This view from Earl Street, with the former Harris and Son's off-licence on Bath Street corner, was taken by Stafford photographer Tony Boydon. Centre right is the former Police Station and on the right is a glimpse of the rear entrance to St. John’s Market.
The police station was built on the corner of Bath Street and Albion Place in 1931. The police had moved from the station in the Guildhall on Market Square because they required larger premises. The police station transferred to a new building in Eastgate Street in the 1970s and the old station on Bath Street was demolished early 1985. The Market buildings were demolished in the early 1990’s to make way for the construction of the Guildhall Shopping Centre.
