Hi Hugh, 

The above is lifted straight from Haringey's website.  It's an interesting history.  I like the picture on our FB page because it shows the ornamentation just below the roofline, ironically now only evident in the 1913 extension. It's what qualifies the building to be described as 'Italianate'. I asked the council to put it back it as part of the redevelopment, but I think that is unlikely!  Our pic must be from the 19th century I think, it appears to be operating as a private house.  Thanks for letting me use the police station photo!

Best,

Michael

Thanks. I thought it might have originally been residential

Have you seen this news about the probable disposal of the police station?

Yes of course; I don't know whether it is copyrighted by anyone but I don't think so!  Thanks for the update on WG police station: that would be an enormous white elephant if the prediction comes to pass!
