The new police station for the Eastern Division opened on Tobago Street in 1869. The main building contained the court room, mortuary, muster hall and other offices, with 30 cells to the rear. Single storey wings at either side were occupied by the fire brigade, cleansing and lighting departments. The building continued in use until 1981 when the new headquarters for the Division were opened on London Road. (A.Smart)
