Okay, I'm confused.

This message goes out particularly to those with access to census data at home.

I was aware of three separate police stations at Heanor since the founding of Derbyshire Constabulary in 1857.

The first was down the side of the Town Hall, on the left – a lock-up that had been used prior to the County force being established.

At some time (1890's?), the police station was on Wilmot Street, between Mundy Street and the Market Place. This had a cell, and was two separate houses, presumably for a Sergeant and a PC.

This stayed the same for around a century. In the 1980's the two houses were knocked into one – the cell had long since finished being used. In the 1990's, the Police Station moved to what had been the Post Office, at the top of Godfrey Street, where it remains today.

However……

According to the 1871 Census, PC Kirkland lived at Heanor Police Station, which was at no. 3 Derby Road, Heanor, between Red Lion Square and Mount Street.

So….. Can anyone with access to the 1861, 1881, 1891, or 1901 censuses tell me where the police station was? Or where other police officers lived at the time? (The Superintendent was at Langley Mill, which was a large station, until the 1900's, when Ilkeston took over, and Langley Mill was downgraded to an Inspector's house.)
