The police station stands at the corner of Thornhill Road and Golds Hill Road. The architecture suggests the end of the 19th or beginning of the 20th century. POLICE and COURT are carved on the lintel of the porch, and the brackets support a pair of blue lamps - very 'old school'. It is a large building and continues off to the right of the photo.
