This is Ashton under Lyne Police Station on Manchester Road.
The first police station in Ashton was a converted cottage in Dungeon Street (now Market Street). When the Town Hall was built it included a new police station at street level below the splendour of the civic accommodation.
The present police station, on Manchester Road, was built in recent years to replace a police station on the same site built around the 1960s.
Don't look now, but someone's stolen three of the letters from the name of the building, right under the eye of the CCTV camera!
