The Key to Security

This magnificent set of keys belongs to the cells and gates of the former Victorian police station on Manchester’s Newton Street. The large key in the centre looked the giant internal gate that could secure the station in times of riot and disorder.

 

The building now houses the Greater Manchester Police Museum and Archives and is glad to open its doors to visitors. You can even try the key in its original lock.

 

On the theme of security, always make sure your doors and windows are secure and fit the best lock available
