“I’d be delighted to give visitors a behind-the-scenes tour, as would PCSOs Bardhyl Agallili and Martin Leadbitter.”
The building has been home to Herts Police since January 30, 1914 and cost £893 to build on the site of an old butcher’s shop and abattoir.
It was originally also a house for the local sergeant and his family.

The station narrowly avoided being replaced with a new building in Mortimer Hill in the 1960s.
