The town’s police moved into their new £68,000 headquarters leaving behind the converted house on Town Street which had been their base for a number of years. The new building between Broadway and Manor Road, included a radio communications room, administrative offices for a chief inspector, inspector, C.I.D. and women police and special constable departments. Other features included a lecture room – which could also be used for recreational purposes – a mess room, interview room and a general office.

Pupils from St Margaret's crossing the road to go from the main school to the classrooms, about 100 yards up the road in November 1973. They had to cross the road at least four times a day.
