Re: Manky Signs
I think this is fairly old https://maps.app.goo.gl/Mxzjd69KbRpMkej89 and it's a bit more manky than in the GSV photo.

Passed this today https://maps.app.goo.gl/iZ1f15RmPZg4i6aS6 and it's even a bit more faded and weatherbeaten than in this link.

Along similar lines is this in Southport.

Nice one, Rambo. I'm out and about tomorrow so will keep my eyes peeled for any more specimens.

I really ought to take a trip around there for nostalgia as i've only starting capturing road signs in the last couple of years.

As mentioned in the pre-Worboys thread, here's the other Nantmor sign https://maps.app.goo.gl/VUs5uCgGHrjCb72v5 spotted today.

This hard to read sign at Whitfield. Ugh.

This one stood out to me when I went to get my Covid vaccine at Bishop Auckland last week - it looked far worse than it did in 2016 here!

Re: Manky Signs
Not posted one for a while. Here's an old school one in Southport. ok.. i'll admit it's not at all that manky but the posts make it qualify
Re: Manky Signs
Given the length of this thread it's possible this sign has been posted before. However, given I drove past it the other day I felt it was worth mentioning.

Re: Manky Signs
Another feast for the eyes....I've not seen one of these for ages. Do the AA still put signs out?
Re: Manky Signs
Was looking at these faded chevrons the other day. Theyre made of metal, screwed to a wooden fence and look pretty old.

Re: Manky Signs
Rambo, this is the only link that I posted for which I hadn't actually seen the sign and I said that I'd hopefully be in that area soon and would let you know if it was still there. Well, I passed it just last week and it has, unfortunately, been replaced by a current 2T sign.

I think these went out of the TSRGD a while ago.
