Second World War and Cold War Fire Station occupying a block between the northern ends of Windmill Street and Wrotham Road, Gravesend. It was part of a rectangular single-storey range with second storey elements, enclosing a courtyard and a parade ground. The outside facing was formed of concrete simulating stone and pierced by crittal windows. Half was occupied by the Fire Service and half by the Police. There were garages opening into the courtyard for regular fire service appliances as well as those of the Auxiliary Fire Service, and a radio control room, hose drying and exercise towers. The fire station was built in 1942, became disused in 1972 and was demolished in 1973, its services being transferred to a new station in Coldharbour Road, Northfleet.
