END OF AN ERA

Surprised no one has mentioned the forthcoming closure of the police station.
It has always been there at the top of Castlehill.
There is no one who can say that they can remember it ever being elsewhere.Luckily I've only ever been inside on a couple of occasions,and only then at the front desk,but I'm sure there must be a host of stories to be told about what has gone on inside its walls.
Imagine the countless local characters who, having had one too many, have then had the pleasure of spending a night inside.

are they making the old one into houses?

will it's new tenants be familiar with the place already?

questions questions questions

how much was spent on the renovations only for the place to be mothballed within 2yrs?

a waste of money, don't cha think?
