Manly Police Station
A police station was established at “Manly Beach’ between 1855 and 1861 when one foot constable was stationed there. Constable Sheaves, the first Constable, lived in “Oriel” cottage which faced Norton Street (now Central Avenue). The inhabitants of Manly petitioned the Governor in 1865 for a lockup to be erected at Manly. The ability of the constable to maintain law and order was limited by the absence of a lockup in which to confine offenders. People coming to Manly on holidays sometimes became very rowdy.
Henry Gilbert Smith gave a block of land to the Police Department for the erection of a police station. It was at the corner of Fountain Street (now Sydney Road) and Market Lane. A stone building was built, and opened in 1866, and was added to in 1889. The first person arrested after the building was completed was one of the stonemasons, for “celebrating too boisterously”. He was thrown into the station’s new lock-up shortly after the work was completed.
Manly station’s first police officer in 1868 was a mounted trooper who controlled the entire district from Manly to Palm Beach. Sergeant Carton, his family and his horse lived at the station.
The station had two stone cells, one for men and the other for women, where drunks who missed the last boat to Sydney were put overnight. At that time Manlywas a fairly quiet place but on public holidays things got rowdy. Traffic from the city was heavy and many rough characters found their way to the northern beaches. Fights were common and police wereat times unable to restore order for hours at a time.
When Manly was promoted to number 14 division in 1916 Sergeant William Carton became the first inspector of the stations of Brookvale, Freshwater, Mona Vale and Narrabeen. Prior to this Manly’s headquarters were at George Street North police station in the city.
