Photograph - Ballarat Rd 130 - Maidstone Police Station, 1956

Historical information

There were two Maidstone Police Stations, with the earlier one operating in Ballarat Road, before 1956, though the exact address isn’t given in the retrieved material.

A Facebook heritage discussion notes that the station moved around the corner into Short Street in 1956.

Perhaps the Ballarat Road building was extended out the back which faced Short Street.

This picture appears to be Ballarat Road site.

Both sites are now private residences.

Significance

This photographs records the old small police stations that served the local community.
