Re: Pre-Worboys preservation campaign
I don't think that this has been posted before; I think it has been kept to add to the tourist vibe of the village rather than having been overlooked for modernisation:
Re: Pre-Worboys preservation campaign
Spotted a couple in Kirriemuir yesterday, which don't appear to have been mentioned before.

My mission is to travel every road and visit every town, village and hamlet in the British Isles.
I don't like thinking about how badly I am doing.

Re: Pre-Worboys preservation campaign
Not sure if this one is known, on a random back road north of the A69

Re: Pre-Worboys preservation campaign
Looks decidedly home made to me - is there a streetview link? I've been up and down the A30 east of Hook on GSV and turned up nothing.

The sign is just past A30 Car Sales and A30 Car Wash. if only there were a possible reason or two for a sign saying A30 and looking somewhat hand made.
Make poetry history.

Re: Pre-Worboys preservation campaign
It looked pretty vintage to me, but I was pressing on a long journey up the A30! So, alas, I wasn't able to take a really close look.Big L wrote: ↑Sun Jul 24, 2022 22:25Google isn’t letting me link.solocle wrote: ↑Sun Jul 24, 2022 22:04About here a- https://goo.gl/maps/e3bPLqAoeCEZ4QXg6, heading east.

Re: Pre-Worboys preservation campaign
I don't think this one for the A56 at Elslack has been mentioned. Seems to suggest it's a crossroads when it really isn't - was this just a standard design?

Re: Pre-Worboys preservation campaign
I also unexpectedly stumbled across that one today and suspected that it was the one you'd posted.
Did you see the 'Start of 30mph' sign on one of the other streets?

Re: Pre-Worboys preservation campaign
Can't remember if I've mentioned this one in Sandhurst before

Re: Pre-Worboys preservation campaign
No, first I've seen of it. I'll have to go now. Oh, just discovered it's another Sandhurst, I didn't know there was one. Maybe not now.
Re: Pre-Worboys preservation campaign
Not sure of the vintage of this sign but looks interesting.

Re: Pre-Worboys preservation campaign
The charming village of Bilton, just outside Rugby, boasts this beauty.
Is it a candidate? Street name signs aren't normally thought of as falling within the Worboys/pre-Worboys category, but the arrow at the end of this looks very pre-Worboys to me.
