Unusually, I found myself in Harrow today and spotted this finger post, which aren't exactly ten-a-penny in any London borough.
I suspect the fingers are relatively modern replicas or renovations, but the post looked pretty sturdy and made many decades ago. Indeed, it featured the maker's name of the Royal Label Factory when based in Stratford-on-Avon.
That company were once a prolific supplier of various road signs and the like.

#3014 - 2017 Day 26: I wonder how many times in the next eight moths I will be thinking "how far to go?" or "how far have I come?" It might not even matter. But for some it is clearly a requirement to have it painted on the tarmac.

not sure why many Japanese shops have "open" and "closed" signs in English (and often only in english) anyone else know? this was not an area frequented by foreign tourists just a shop in on a main road leading out of Ebisu.
The phone number is 313-932-1212. The Yellow Pages sign that hung from the former Michigan Bell Telephone Co. Building near the border of Highland Park for 50 years was dismantled in November, 2011.
The Tricorn Centre was a Brutalist shopping, nightclub and car park complex in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England. It was designed by Owen Luder and Rodney Gordon and took its name from the site's shape which from the air resembled a Tricorne hat. Constructed in the mid-1960s, it was demolished in 2004. It was home to one of the first Virgin Megastores and housed the largest Laser Quest arena in Europe.
The centre was a well-known example of 1960s architecture, and in the 1980s it was voted the 3rd ugliest building in the UK. In 2001, BBC Radio 4 listeners voted it the most hated building in the UK, and Prince Charles described it as "a mildewed lump of elephant droppings", although it was much admired by others, who saw it as an irreplaceable example of Brutalist architecture. Demolition of the Tricorn began on 24 March 2004 and lasted approximately nine months.

Considering I've been to Birmingham many times I'd never been in the Ikon Gallery which is particularly surprising as I'm a bit partial to Contemporary Art (the good stuff anyway......). This sign just inside the entrance caught my eye for the mix of materials.

From Wikipedia : "The Ikon Gallery (grid reference SP060866) is an English gallery of contemporary art, located in Brindleyplace, Birmingham. It is housed in the Grade II listed, neo-gothic former Oozells Street Board School, designed by John Henry Chamberlain in 1877. The gallery's current director is Jonathan Watkins.
Ikon was set up to encourage the public to engage in contemporary art. As a result of this, the gallery runs an off-site 'Education and Interpretation' scheme that educates audiences, promotes artists and their art. The gallery is open every day of the week except Mondays, though it opens on bank holiday Mondays.
Featured artworks include all forms of media including sound, sculpture and photography as well as paintings. Exhibitions rotate throughout the year so that as many pieces can be displayed as possible. Ikon is a registered charity which is partly funded by Birmingham City Council and Arts Council of England."
