Surrey Street

Police box

One of the last 120 surviving police boxes in the UK. This one stands outside the town hall on the end of Surrey St.

Introduced in Sheffield in 1928 by the then Chief Constable, Percy J Sillitoe, of gang-busting fame, they were eventually phased out in the 1960's. The boxes were used by patrolmen for meal breaks and writing reports.
