Out of date road signs

As for me, I remember a sign when I was on holiday in 1999/2000 on the B1456 in Ipswich which had the A45 on it! :? (EDIT: It seems it was removed during the 2000's. But it was here- https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.03292 ... 6656?hl=en

Anyone else know of any out of date signs as such? :?:
