Police Station, Oldham Road, Ashton-under-Lyne

NEW POLICE-STATION, ASHTON - The new police station at Ashton, which has been erected in Oldham Road, was opened recently. The premises were designed by the County Architect, Mr. Henry Littler, and are in the Gothic style. The bricks are from the Huncoat Plastic Brick and Terra-cotta Company, and the stone is from the Darley Dale quarries. The interior glazed bricks were supplied by Messrs. Shaw and Co., Blackburn. The stonework was erected by Mr. W. Winnard, Wigan, and the plumbing and painting were carried out by Messrs. W. Gaskell and Sons, Wigan. Mr. Peter Pennington, Ashton, was the contractor, and Mr. T. Parker was the clerk of the works. The hot-water system, by means of which the buildings are heated, has been installed by Messrs. A. Seward and Co., Lancaster. [Builder 18 June 1904 page 666]
