The Four Balls have been used to stop vehicles driving past the main corner entrance to Hammerton Road Police Station ... cycles can still pass through the middle and, of course, pedestrians can use the pavement. The terraced houses in the background are shown on the 1903 Ordnance Survey Map ... but the Police Station wasn't built for another 30 years or so. Image Image Image
