Although use of building as a fire station was proposed, it was never fully taken up, as the proposal would have required the removal of stone work and columns in order to accommodate the fire engine. Luckily public outcry was heeded and plans were then developed to use the building as a museum. This picture may have been taken when the building was in use as a police station, prior to the police move to the new station in St John's Street in 1892 or shortly after.
