Main Road, Sproatley, Yorkshire
At the junction with Burton Constable Road, aka Pasture Lane, the Police Station, 1849, by H.F. Lockwood of Kingston upon Hull. The building included a magistrates' room for the Middle Division of Holderness. The police station was discontinued circa 1970; the magistrates last met at Sproatley in 1995. The building, now known as The Old Court House, has since been occasionally used for other purposes; it is presently occupied by a property development company.

Sproatley Conservation Area, East Yorkshire

The special character and appearance of the Conservation Area lies in the retention of historic buildings (in two areas) to the north and south. These contrast with the modern developments in the middle and to the north-west, and contain all the traditional elements of village life, including church, school, public houses, landed properties and terraced dwellings.

Henry Francis Lockwood, architect, Kingston upon Hull

In 1834 Lockwood set up a practice in Kingston upon Hull where he rapidly established himself as the town’s leading architect. In partnership with Thomas Allom, he designed a number of Neo-classical buildings. Another important northern architect, Cuthbert Brodrick, was his pupil; he was with him from 1837-43. The partnership with Allom ended by mutual consent on 30 December 1843. In 1849 Lockwood formed a partnership with William Mawson, and the following year they moved to Bradford.
