This is not Porth Police station.Completely different building and wrong date/plaque information.

After some research, I found that this building was somewhere in Cardiff. It is one of 9 unidentified buildings from the photographic archive of E. Turner & Sons Ltd., Builders and Contractors of Cardiff. Perhaps someone knows the answer. What we do know is that the listing by Ross Mather is incorrect.

Solved. This was Ynysybwl Police Station and not Porth as suggested.
