Witham Police Station, Essex - April 2018
So on the same day that I first went to the Cop Shop in Brentwood, Essex, we decided to drive 20 miles to the disused Police Station in Witham. It was OK, but probably not worth the extra driving. It was more of a cottage design inside. Quite a nice relaxed explore though and had water and heating.

I think this was closed as part of the massive cost cutting operation in Essex, but there isn't a huge amount of history. Witham was closed before Brentwood, and the Police Department vacated in April 2016. closed in April 2016

In December 2017; the former Police Station was put up for sale with a guide price of £875.000 but was eventually sold early 2018 for £1.6million

planning permission has been submitted to convert the site into a nursery school keeping all the outside features in place and nothing to be demolished.

I think it was worth the extra 20 miles!...but then you probably didn't park on the most awkward restricted rd ever, with tiny signs, and get another bloody ticket
