Although the famous Bow Street Runners operated from 1749-1839 as part of the local magistrate’s court, it was in 1881 that a rebuilt courthouse also added a professional police station. The police station closed in 1992, and in 2021, as part of a hotel conversion, it reopened as the Bow Street Police Museum.Museum Director, Simon Tansley, said: “The reason for this change is to better reflect the breadth and depth of the stories we have to tell. Bow Street’s iconic Magistrate’s Court, and the cases it heard, are as famous as the Bow Street Runners, the first organised police force, and whilst the history of policing and the original police cells in this historic building, will remain prominent in our storytelling, we feel it is equally important to look at the history of those with lived experiences of crime and justice, famous or not, who passed through the legal system here on Bow Street over the last 300 years”Simon Tansley added: “As a small independent museum, which relies on donations and income from visitors, we have to remain agile, listen to our visitors, and ensure the stories we tell not only reflect the significant social history of crime and justice on Bow Street, but that those stories are relevant and speak to today’s audiences too. This next step in our evolution will make the Museum more resilient and help to ensure that we can continue to protect this important part of all of our shared history”. -- ???????? | |||
