Trinity Road Police Station, 1980. - a photo on Flickriver

Trinity Road Police Station, 1980.

            Is this the barracks of some continental-style gendarmerie, which takes to the streets only in armoured cars and with plenty of truncheons, riot shields and tear gas?  Are we looking at the headquarters of some Soviet bloc secret police, with its interrogation rooms and execution cellars?  No, this inscrutable, windowless, doorless, inward-turned building is the new Trinity Road Police Station, put up at the end of the 1970s for the greater convenience of our increasingly deskbound, paperwork-ridden policemen ...or "police officers" as they like us to say now.  Somehow this building is the perfect expression of modern policing, with its high-powered pursuit cars, speed cameras, shapeless bulky uniforms, hi-vis jackets and Heckler & Koch semi-automatic submachine guns..
