Steelhouse Lane police station

[2] It was used by their successor, the West Midlands Police, until 2017 where they transferred to Lloyd House, also the force's HQ.

[3][4] The carvings over the entrances, including the coat of arms of Birmingham, are by the local sculptor William Bloye.

The 1933 station itself, in neo-Georgian style[1] is not a listed building, but the adjacent, late-nineteenth century cell block on the corner of Coleridge Passage was given Grade II protection on 8 July 1982 for its special architectural interest: the three-story building has a brick and terra cotta facade with many ornaments, and it has a slate roof.

[5] The station sits in Birmingham City Council's Steelhouse Lane conservation area, which was designated in October 1993.

[6] For around sixty years, until closed in 2005, the station housed a private bar, allowing officers to drink when not on duty.
