Report - Kettering Police Station - Feb 23

Kettering Police Station

​

I dont think this has been covered before, prob because its a bit empty & crap really but as Corby was done recently here Report - - Corby Police Station, April 2023 | Other Sites this is its local counterpart.
I couldnt get in the court here but cant imagine that being any more exciting tbh.
The pace is alarmed but I was already aware of this after witnessing the alarm going off a few days before & noted noone was paying any attention so I was quite at ease wandering round for half hour or so with this ringing in my ears lol.

​

Given the state of the place I still got a alarming amount of pics which prob wont surprise you.

I started down at basement level.

​

Isnt much to tell about this place tbh, its been empty for 6 or 7 yr after the building of new police HQ between Kettering & Corby hence the previously mentioned Corby station.
Its been for sale for years too apparently is under offer but think that has been on the cards for over a year too. I think the only thing that could be done here is completely flattening what is a pretty hideous structure anyway.

Moving back up from basement past the inevitable cameras.
didnt get pic but in a completely empty front office was a running computer with CCTV monitors attached.

back up to ground floor the rear custody entrance

Further along is medical bay

Prob the best bit as often the case was the cells, there seemed to be 2 different ages of cells going on here.

Back out & a few general shots to finish.

Thanks all I can eek out of this one, thanks for looking.

I wanted to say it was polishing a turd but that's quite a decent turd.

Did a walk round the outside of this but didn't see any clear way in

It's a really decent one, had a quick look on my last trip to Kettering.

Nice work @Bikin Glynn, the cells are lovely.

Good ole Kettering police station, frequented that place a few times in my young days, and the courthouse next door.

Maybe empty, but still holds some interest with the signs and areas. Nice set
