Police Station, Tunbridge Wells

The dial stands on a grass plot to the east of the Police Station. It is a three part-ring armillary sphere with a downward pointing arrow for the gnomon. Hours are raised Arabic numerals with no other marks or divisions. It stands on a rectangular pedestal of rough-hewn stone, with a curved bite taken fron the north and south sides. The west side bears a plaque.
