True Zaps!!!
Hope St/Hardman St: I don't know when this closed, but it still gets marked as a Police Station on my mid-90s A-Z.
The 'School for the Blind' part is safe enough, but that office-block needed to go.
As far as I know, there is still an ex-Police Station in Aigburth Vale. I'll have to check though, as the buildings here were rennovated/painted white last year. I think it's the first tall, white, building as you come down from the corner with Elmswood Road.
It's identified on the 1908 OS map.
There's a Methodist Chapel on the corner, then a semi-detached building, and the police station is either the second half of that, or a little building to the right.
ie The third or fourth address on that side of Aigburth Vale.
The 1924 OS map identifies the chapel, but not the police station and by the time of the 1936 Kelly's directory, neither the chapel nor the police station is listed.

Cuffs, Wavertree. Up until a year or two ago, this was still unpainted natural stone. Then the owners ruined it.

Re: Cuffs, Wavertree: I only took that pic this week. It was painted cream before that (and natural stone before that).
Re: Aigburth Vale: Nowadays there is a small half-building inbetween the two buildings under consideration as the Police Station. This small building appears to fill a gap shown on the 1908 map. The map writes Police Station across the two properties. Garstonians may be interested in this one, as it is right on the Toxteth Park/Garston Township boundary.
