Monmouth Police Station, Grade II listed police station in Monmouth, Wales
Monmouth Police Station is a three-storey Victorian building on Glendower Street featuring four bays on its main front face. The structure has stucco walls, a hipped tile roof, and retains its original 19th-century character throughout.
The town relocated its police operations from Agincourt Street to this location on Glendower Street in 1895 to establish a proper headquarters. This move marked the growth of Monmouth as the administrative heart of Monmouthshire during the late 1800s.
The building reflects how local authorities valued professional policing in Monmouth during the Victorian era. You can see in its design the importance placed on law enforcement as a mark of a properly ordered community.
The station sits in the centre of Monmouth and is easy to find while walking through the old town. The area offers parking and wheelchair access, making it straightforward to visit and explore the exterior.
By the early 1900s, the station employed a superintendent, two sergeants, and seven constables who oversaw law enforcement across a wide area of the county. This relatively small team managed policing duties for the entire Monmouthshire region.
