Lark Lane and Garston Police Stations
Lark Lane and Garston Police Stations were built by and for the Lancashire County Constabulary under whose jurisdiction in these areas where until 1895 when they came under the city of Liverpool.
Contrary to popular belief Florence Maybrick was not lodged at Lark Lane Police Station after her arrest. She was ill at the time and remained at home until she was transferred to Walton prison. However she was lodged at the station while the inquest was being held at Garston. At the time Heald Street police station had not been built and the Lancashire Constabulary were using premises on St Mary's Road, Garston. These premises still exist they are now a shop known as "Carberry Parts". If you look up to the gable end of the premises you will see a plaque on which is marked "Constabulary station" and the Lancashire symbol of the three Lions. That symbol can also be seen on Lark Lane Police Station and Garston Police Station (Heald Street).
