In 1845 the district was split and shared between two new courts, the Lambeth Police Court and Southwark Police Court. The latter was recorded as being in Blackman Street, Borough in 1845 and in 1892 at 298 Borough High Street. The court moved in 1905 to Tooley Street and changed its name to Tower Bridge Police Court.
