Description

Former police call box, erected around 1935 and manufactured by Boulton and Paul of Norwich.

EXTERIOR: The former police call box is a single-storey building, rectangular on plan, with a pitched roof and timber-boarded walls. The timber-boarded roof structure survives, however it has lost its roof covering and has a temporary tarpaulin covering. The front (east) and rear (west) gables each feature a triangular pediment with dentil moulding, and the timber-boarded walls are articulated with plain engaged pilasters. The front elevation has a central door, the top part of which contains a 9-light fixed window; either side of the door are remains of doors to cupboards which previously contained a public telephone to phone the local police station (left side) and a first aid kit (right side). The side elevations each have two 9-light fixed windows.

INTERIOR: the interior walls and floor are timber boarded. To the right of the door, an interior cupboard box (the former first aid station) is suspended from the wall and retains one internal shelf.
