History
That original police station was replaced in the 1970's (it was closed in 2017), but towards the end of its use; it seemed to keep strange opening hours for a police station in such a large town. No doubt many a person rolled up there, only to find it closed!

Chalk this up as one of those places that I really should have done a while ago, but I rarely ever venture eastwards of Derby when heading up that way and hadn't actually found myself exploring anything in Nottingham since Radford Mills way back in 2012!
A brief portion of history shamelessly...
Good evening everybody.
I visited here with @blueprint507 and it's been my first explore in a while. Good to get to a new place and meet a fellow explorer.
As you can see from the photos the place has deteriorated more over time....

(My first report so it may not be the best, but fuck it)
History:
This building was the town's main station, right up until late 2019 when it suffered a large arson attack. The fire spread from the downstairs admin room through to the majority of the right side of the building (as discovered on...

I regularly pass by this site and can see that it is remotely monitored by cameras. I had a little sniff around the edges to look at the graffiti and was wondering what the general consensus is on this type of arrangement? Is it that a security van will show up or that you'll get your image...
I am mostly unworried about being prosecuted for any explores i do as long as i don't "break or take"anything. This is echoed by almost every urbex resource i could find but my family, particularly my dad is concerned about possible legal ramifications. Anyone have any stories about police...
Afternoon, not sure if this is worthy of a post or not but here goes.
Being a local and a regular visitor to the site, I noticed on my last visit that the gate to the police building was open, and that a car was in there. Spoke to the person who was friendly and gave me permission to go and...
Corby Police Station and Magistrates Courts

Avoid this abandoned police station due to a fire at a cannabis factory - Huge Cannabis farm ‘worth a million pounds’ discovered in south London police station
One from a few months back. Very little of interest here; except the small Holding Cell downstairs and some stairs.
I assume it opened in the 1970's; and closed around 2021. It's getting demolished to make way for residential and commercial units. Visited here twice.
