This appears to have been removed, C2r, December 2015

Old signs still left in MK (1)

Back in the early 80's, some bright spark had the idea to have the areas of Milton Keynes on the road signs with their MK postcode, but it confused many and eventually they were all replaced. Except for a couple, this double roundabout is on the old A5, now known as V4 Watling Street..as you approach it from the H3 Monks Way. Not sure how much longer this and the other sign will stay as signs around town are being replaced, so here they are for posterity!

Still along the old A5, well, the original before it was bypassed, and the bypassed again. Sitting at the crossroads between Loughton and Shenley, this sign still stands, helpfully pointing the direction the capital and helpfully, giving you the distance. The man in the picture who was working on the house was slightly bemused by me taking pictures...I was tempted to say 'Don't worry Sir, I am from SABRE...', but I didn't, missed opportunity there methinks!

Shenley roundabout

Milton Keynes- A5 at Redmoor Roundabout
Not the old Watling Street A5 but the rerouted modern dual carriageway version is seen here at the Redmoor Roundabout at the junction with Grafton Street. This view was taken from the haven of peace that is the footpath and cycleway bridge through the middle of the roundabout.

Rignall Road (C) michael
The HS2 rail development is not popular in the area and this sign has been placed on the road leading to Chequers so the government can be in no doubt what the people think of it.

Road, Lower Cadsdean The Ridgeway path crosses the road here, it looks as if it originally emerged where the blank notice is and ran up the road to the kerb, near left. An alternative safer crossing now via the fence chicane, near right.

Road to Askett by Weyburn's Wood Woodland is for sale, according to the sign. This is probably only this southern bit with new fencing.

Up To The Railway Bridge The lane from Askett wends its way up and over the branch line between Princes Risborough and Aylesbury.

Memorial to John Hampden John Hampden was a local landowner who resisted an illegal claim by Charles I for ship money tax. He died in 1643, fighting in the Civil War that his action helped to cause.
