Description:The girl standing by the police house could be Gertrude Adams, the daughter of Police Constable Harry Adams who was living in the police house with his family at the time of the 1901 census. PC Adams was later to Norton Canes where on 12th December 1914, he was found unconscious in a lane; he later died from his injuries.

The Police Station stands on the junction of High Street and Sarver Lane. The protective stones set in the ground at the corners of the building may indicate that it may have originally been built as a toll house.

PC Adams some time later was moved to Norton Canes where on 12th December, 1914, he was found unconscious in a lane there, he later died from his injuries.
