Police Box adjacent to Town Hall, Surrey Street, Sheffield

The police box, located adjacent to the Town Hall on Surrey Street in Sheffield, was built in 1928 as part of a system of 120 police boxes initiated by Chief Constable Percy J. Sillitoe. It is constructed of timber and has a square plan.

The exterior features timber walls with sunk panels, a plinth, and a plain frieze topped by a segmental-arched leaded roof. The front elevation includes a narrow plank door on the right, accompanied by an upper window with marginal glazing and textured glass. To the left, there is a larger rectangular window, also with marginal glazing and textured glass. Below this window is a small door that leads to a public telephone cupboard, with a modern metal sign to the right that provides the history of the Sheffield police boxes. In the center of the frieze, there is a rectangular frame that originally held a police sign, which has been replaced by a blue illuminated box inscribed "SOUTH YORKSHIRE POLICE," attached to the front of the segmental pediment. The fixing position for the bracket that held the original overhanging blue light is still visible at the center front of the roof. The side elevations feature similarly detailed central windows.

Inside, the police box contains an L-shaped desk with a Formica top and wooden edging. Adjacent to the door is a floor-level cupboard, and above the desk is the telephone cupboard, which also has an interior door.
