The Dudley police and fire station began construction during the outbreak of the Second World War. The foundation stone was laid on 19 May 1939 and the building was formally opened on 22 October 1941 by Viscount Cobham, John Lyttelton of Hagley. The architects were Webb & Gray of Dudley and the Borough Engineer was FH Gibbons. The entrance of the police station includes carvings by Alan Bridgewater and Charles Upton. The building functioned as a police station until its closure in 2017, almost 80 years after its opening. The Heritage Open Days virtual tour offers a peek behind closed doors to see some of the original features and impressive spaces and provides further information about its history.
