The southern side of the street forms the northern boundary of the raised graveyard of St Chad's Church.

In the early 20th century, the row of buildings lining this side of the street were demolished,[3] resulting in today's unobstructed view of St Chad's.

[4] Now, between the northern end of the pedestrianised Church Street to the west and the Thatched House in the east, there are two bus stops along the paved area.

[6] Ball Street bus stop's stand one is served by Blackpool Transport routes 5, 5C and 12, while stand two is served by Transpora routes 24 and 523, Blackpool Transport's 74 and 75, Preston Bus's 76 and Stagecoach's 42.

[7] The two stands are to make up for there being no opposing bus stops, given that Ball Street is one-way.
