As part of the heritage weekend mickeylove and myself visited the courthouse, even though from otley we have never been inside.
the site was formerly allotments and orchards the police superintendents house was built in1853.Plans show that adjacent to the house were two cell and a police office . Over the next 50 years many changes took place and in 1965 a newpolice station was built on bridge street this marked the decline of the old site, Four of the cells and three courtrooms were used until 1997 when all cases were transferred to leeds.
