The former police station
Wells police station on Glastonbury Road was a large and expansive creation built in the 1950s. However, moving with the times it became clear that it was too big and impractical to remain here and so is on the market. The police merged with the fire station offices in Burcott Road in April, 2021, leaving this site up for grabs.
