Context
Small sign's such as this would have been used on small West Sussex Constabulary buildings such as rural police stations and offices, which would often have doubled as the rural officer's house. Larger buildings would have have more substantial signage, often made of stone set into the fabric of the building.
This probably dates from the 1930s.
