Don't worry about the floor boards, its a tiled floor on concrete, just don't go near the front doors that are now being replaced with double glazing.

Under there there is a 3 foot square tunnel running the full length of the building, it was for the central heating pipes fed from the boiler house in the cop shop cellar, all that would have been turned off, when it was sold, and damp will have set in, remember it was sold by auction, buyer beware.

All the heating, in what was known as the bath block, has gone as well, plasters coming off the walls, they are also two vehicle inspection pits in the fire station which were boarded over, if you don't know where they are, you may be one of the lucky ones that goes through.
