On my travels, I’ve seen some unusual-looking Worboys-style signs on Dartmoor. You may know them, they have a light brown/pale dark red border.
Did Devon get special dispensation to use this border?? Most of them look mid-80s vintage, when they would’ve been expected to have light/royal blue borders.
These signs were initially only used on Dartmoor, and then rolled out county wide at a later date. I recall in the early 80's that on the approaches to Dartmoor, there being signs with a key to what the different colour borders meant. I don't know if there are any of these still in existence.
