In Search of Mapperley (4): The Old Police House

"...at one time the home of Inspector Downs, a man famous for his pride in appearance, as well as devotion to duty." Now some flats. A survivor, though, it seems, given it's precarious position opposite the Porchester Road junction and in the grounds of a covered reservoir and, now, a telephone tower. The same can not be said of the rather nice railings that until recently graced the front of the property - they were trashed by a clumsy truck and will probably never be properly replaced...
