These are two seperate sites but the courthouse only has a couple of rooms so i thought i'd put them both as one.

They both used to be used by West Riding Constabualary untill it merged into North Yorkshire Police in the 70's.

The Police Station is quite good actually and worth a little visit if you're in the area.

Some photos i took on film with a really old Ilford XP2 Super, so excuse the quality lol..

Thanks Robenkov. I got the film developed at Tesco which was a mistake as they have loads of Magenta in them, i should just have done them myself.

That was taken on my DSLR, but a bit blurry as it was handheld and very dark in there.

Here is a corridor shot taken on the 35mm SLR.

Me and Emma have been here, thought it was good. when we went to the court house the woman said as we were the only ones there "Would you like me to put the video on?" "......Errr ok" Que the most longest boringest video ever, we felt like we didnt want to upset her so we sat throu ripons version of a victorian Judge Judy. Was crap But the Police bit I did enjoy!
