Wortley Police Station, Upper Wortley Road, Wortley, Leeds
The Upper Wortley Police Station was built in 1899 to replace an earlier police station on the same site. On 31 March 1935 it became the headquarters of 'D' Division.
The building is mainly red brick and has some nice architectural details including a turret, a Leeds coat of arms, a pair of owls and a Potts clock.
The clock was installed by Wm Potts & Sons of Leeds in 1898. The weights of the clock hung through the first floor to the ground floor, the holes being used to overhear conversations on the ground floor by the occupants of the first floor.
