At the junction with Burton Constable Road, aka Pasture Lane, the Police Station, 1849, by H.F. Lockwood of Kingston upon Hull. The building included a magistrates' room for the Middle Division of Holderness. The police station was discontinued circa 1970; the magistrates last met at Sproatley in 1995. The building, now known as The Old Court House, has since been occasionally used for other purposes; it is presently occupied by a property development company.
