Longton Police
Station, Sutherland Road
The original door at
Longton Police Station
Built in 1905 as brewery offices, it was
later used as Longton Police Station before being demolished in 1992. A
new purpose built police station was built on the same site. |
the new police station
incorporates the door and the date stone from the original station
photo: Feb 2009
the date stone incorporates a Stafford knot -
one of the few examples which is correctly executed
- going from the top left, the first strand of rope should cross OVER the
other rope
and not UNDER as shown on the majority of Stafford knots.
