Is it the old Crown court?

Will be the old court house.

 

Hi,

 

It was an old police station. I believe there is a tunnel from the old Court House under Castle Green to this building.

As YvonneOD wrote, it is the old police station. There's a photo and brief description here.

I think that was the cop shop on Water Lane, but they could have been annexed in the old days.

I always thought that was a bonded warehouse,the bottom section.

The building in the photo is shown in directories as a police station, but Wiley's bonded warehouse was just across Castle Green - see here (from the 1942 Kelly's Directory).

My memory is that this building was on the corner of bridge street and castle green.
