The Octagon is a northern linked extension to Shire Hall, constructed in the 1960’s and arranged over four floors from basement to second floor level.
Castle Lodge (former Registration Services) is of single-storey construction.
The Old Police Station fronts Castle Street and is arranged over ground and first floors.
