This cafe is so called, because of the large silver ball that hangs from the front of the property. If memory serves me correctly, petrol pumps were on the forecourt until the middle 1970's. It used to be a stopping off point for breakfast, for fishermen heading for the Fens, early on Sunday mornings, it might still be used by them.
