Further Information/ Provenance: 

Shown on 1931 1:2500 OS map, still on 1964 1:2500 OS map

Plotted on correct location, but unable to tell if current building (streetview shows St Peter's Hospice Shop) was fire station, or is a new building on same site

Contemporary photo appears to show appliance bay was attached to the right of the current Hospice shop, but has been demolished and replaced by a building set slightly further back. Need confirmation if Hospice shop formed part of fire station
