Hinckley police station and court
by M D Allen
POLICE STATION 1937 Corner of Hollycroft and Upper Bond Street. The County Council Standing Joint Committee of 12 Nov 1930 stated that the existing police station and court were inadequate to requirements. The county architect had submitted plans for alterations to the police station and courthouse on Stockwell Head, but it was eventually resolved that a scheme be submitted for new police buildings on a more convenient site (Hinckley Times, 14 Nov 1930).
The site of the old Manor House was first suggested in 1931 (Hinckley Times, 13 Feb 1931). The decision to build a new police station on the site of the Hinckley Tuberculosis Dispensary (former Manor House) was confirmed shortly afterwards, and in May 1932 further steps were taken
