The recently closed Blackpool South Shore police station has been put up for sale by Lancashire Police and will feature among around 100 lots in the Pugh property auction in Manchester on 16 July.
The police station building, on Montague Street close to the South Pier, includes offices and a former police briefing room and has a total floorspace of 4,800 sq ft. The property has been given a guide price of £110,000.
Pugh managing director Paul Thompson said: “This is a unique and quite sizeable period property in a thriving mixed-use area of Blackpool. The police station has lots of potential for redevelopment and we have had interest in the old station from a range of investors.”
“There’s a constantly strong demand for new commercial and residential development opportunities in Blackpool and this property is well located, close to the sea front in this busy resort.”
The South Shore police station, which had become a neighbourhood policing centre since its public enquiry desk was shut down in 2012, was closed last year.
