Building Information

Location: Blackpool, Lancashire, UK
Architect: Lancashire County Architect’s Department
Completed: 1976
Status: Demolished in 2023

Brief Overview:
The Bonny Street Police Headquarters served as the main police station for Blackpool for almost fifty years. Its Brutalist design featured stepped concrete forms and recessed fenestration, reflecting the architectural trends of the time. Demolished in 2023 as part of a wider redevelopment scheme, it remains a point of local memory and identity.

Making my concrete model

Some buildings feel as much a part of a place as the streets around them. The Bonny Street Police Headquarters in Blackpool stood for nearly half a century, its bold Brutalist form a familiar presence near the seafront. Completed in the early 1970s, its stepped massing and raw concrete gave it a solid, authoritative presence—whether you were passing by or being brought inside.

This model captures that unmistakable profile. The angular volumes, recessed windows, and tiered rooflines needed to translate clearly at a smaller scale. I worked to preserve the weight and stance that made the building such a local landmark.

A small cast of a building that once kept watch over Blackpool. Made for those who remember it from the promenade, worked within its walls, or simply admired its uncompromising form. This model is a keepsake of a building that, like the town it served, had a character all its own.

Bonny Street Police HQ, Blackpool

Blackpool is more than the tower and the illuminations. The Bonny Street Police HQ miniature concrete model is for people who remember the town beyond the postcards. The former police headquarters stood a street back from the Golden Mile from 1976 until its demolition in 2023. The Lancashire County Architect's Department designed it, and its stepped concrete forms and deep-set windows gave it a fortress-like presence. This concrete model of Bonny Street Police Station keeps that profile at 7cm for a desk or shelf. It's made for Blackpool locals, former officers and staff, and collectors of lost civic Brutalist architecture, and it's a Blackpool gift with an unexpected story. Each miniature concrete building is hand-cast in solid concrete, with its own texture.
