Land's End, West Cornwall
There are quite a few 'first and last' signs near Land's End in Cornwall.
There is a 'first and last' church, a post office, a petrol station, a fish and chip shop and probably a good few more that I haven't noticed. However, this small establishment, located at a place called Dr Syntax's Head at Land's End, really is a 'first and last'. The sign proclaims it to be the ‘First and Last Gift Shop and Refreshment House in England’.
As for the intriguing name, I believe there used to be a large granite boulder nearby that bore a resemblance to the head of a popular 19th century caricature called Dr Syntax.
