Former Police Station, 1843. Stock brick walls. One storey. Cornice and blocking
course continuing round central projecting bay with pediment over, the central
projection with four-panel door above two steps, and a blocked flanking window opening
with rubbed brick arches to each side. Set back blank walling to each side again.
Early plan shown on O.S 1868 map and comprised central reception area with two cells
to each side, the east cells later altered by the insertion of a large drying closet
for the workhouse and the west cells since converted into one room, but retaining a
door. The building ceased to function as a Police Station after 1872 and was then
used as a workhouse ward for tramps. See Dartford Historical and Antiquarian Society
