Description:The former Magistrates' Court building is seen during its demolition. On the left is a glimpse of Staffordshire Place and in the background there is the BT Telephone Exchange.
Construction of the Magistrates' Court building began in 1977. The Court closed around 2017 and the building stood empty until demolition began during October 2021. The site is due to be redeveloped, but initially it will become a temporary car park with room for 60 cars and spaces for motorcycles and cycle stands.
