Built by the Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Company and opened in 1892.
This is where Edgwarebury Lane becomes privately owned and is clearly made by someone old enough to remember when they looked like this. The sign is made on hardboard by a firm in Enfield displaying an 020 number so made since 2001.

In the FWHA's lovely typeface as well.
However this isn't in suburban America, it's in Worthing, West Sussex. England.
On private property but oddly enough around here and into the West End of town there are a few American style signs.
Personally I love this style of sign, the 5 is very cutesy and looks great.

Weighbridge just west of Puddletown on the old road. Note 5 mph sign.

Nothing new here besides the combination, but the no through road is painted on rather than raised or stuck on which I haven't seen before.

Sad they've let them deteriorate like this but in perfect condition otherwise.

I'd found three of these so far before this and this was the first still with its ring.

At the entrance to the bridge over the river Lea that leads to a car park, now closed 'due to health and safety reasons'.

The pole is like new and luckily its neighbour along the road still has it's ring on top as well.

Found at the entrance to a garage this sign was clearly made before 1963 as uses the same characters as the official signs but on two lines horizontally
