Pre-Worboys Sign
This is a relatively new sign, and has no pre-Worboys equivalent.
The Scottish Roads Archive have a photo of the southern approach to the Clyde Tunnel from March 1964 showing two signs stating "Minimum 8mph". It pre-dates the erection of the first Worboys signs by around 6 months. They have suggested the signage was perhaps unique to the tunnel at that time. A low resolution version of the photo can be seen on the BBC News website.
