Hi - depending how old the photo looks, I see there was a lot of wartime activity around there - so

"Air Force Factory" perhaps?
   
                                                                                  Regards

Could this be the Admiralty Factory (AF) in Curran Road. Cardiff, just off Penarth Road.

Which was a munitions factory manufacturing equipment for the Royal Navy.

West.
Wilts; Willis/Paintin;
Gloucs; Willis.Westbury on Seven.Hathaway Churcham.Sterry Westbury.
Glam; Hopkin.Daniel.Gethin.Brooks
Devon; Jackson.
