Fingerpost in Braunston-in-Rutland, Rutland
Cast iron fingerpost made by Gibson of Stamford. Date unknown but could be as early as the turn of the C20. Located on the junction of Brooke Road and Church Street.
Gibson of Stamford. The firm was Thomas Charles Gibson, 22 Broad Street, Stamford, first noted in 1843; later T Gibson & Sons, appearing in directories up to 1930. They made agricultural implements and were iron and brass founders. In the C20 they described themselves as mechanical engineers. They had works in Broad Street in the C19 but they probably moved from there later.
