Found these small metal plaques screwed or nailed to the river embankment walls in The City at low tide. I can't find any information about them but I don't think they're very old. There would be more corrosion if they were and the one on bottom right says 'Elizabeth I'. Until Elizabeth II ascended the throne in 1952 she was not given the '1st' tag.

This lovely garden plaque has been forgotten and covered up by weeds.
A Woody Allen quote memorialized on a plaque in Oviedo Spain.
"Oviedo is Delicious, Exotic, Beautiful, Clean, Pleasant, Peaceful, and Kind to Pedestrians. It's as if it doesn't belong to this world, as if it could not possibly exist ... Oviedo is like a Fairy Tale"
And it is true. Oviedo is the cleanest and nicest city I've ever seen.
DANVILLE VA: DAN RIVER MILLS: Once upon a time, a long time ago, factory workers lived very close to the factory. So close, in fact, they could be called to work by the ringing of the factory bell or whistle.

M.S.C. Mmemelland Memel.
Senamiestis, Klaipėda County, Lithuania
Memel dispute, Memel also called Klaipėda, post-World War I dispute regarding sovereignty over the former German Prussian territory of Memelland. Its seizure by Lithuania was eventually approved by the great powers.
Before World War I, Memelland, an area on the Baltic Sea located to the north of the Neman (Memel) River, belonged to Prussia. A large portion of its population, particularly outside the port city of Memel, however, was Lithuanian; and after the war the newly formed state of Lithuania requested that the Allied Powers at the Paris Peace Conference grant it possession of the Memel territory (March 24, 1919). The Allied Powers did detach Memelland from Germany (Versailles Treaty; Article 99); but rather than annex the region to Lithuania, whose political situation was then unstable, they assumed direct control over the area, appointed a French administration to rule it, and only in the fall of 1922 created a special commission to review the status of Memelland. When that commission displayed sympathy for a plan, supported by German and Polish interest groups, to transform Memelland into a free state, Lithuanian inhabitants of the region formed a Committee for the Salvation of Lithuania Minor, gained the support of numerous volunteers from Lithuania proper, and on Jan. 9, 1923, announced at Silutė (Heydekrug) that they were taking over the government of Memelland in order to unite the region, as an autonomous unit, with Lithuania. By January 15 the Lithuanian forces had gained control over the entire district, including the city of Memel. The Allied Powers sent formal notes to Lithuania protesting against this action, but their Ambassadors’ Conference decided on February 16 to place Memelland under Lithuanian control. The subsequent negotiations concerning the nature of the union and control of the port continued inconclusively until December; and only after the matter was referred to the League of Nations did Lithuania reach an accord with Great Britain, France, Italy, and Japan (the member states of the Ambassadors’ Conference) and sign the Memel Statute, which officially made Memelland an autonomous region within Lithuania, outlined the governmental structure of the territory, and also established an administrative body for the port of Memel, renamed Klaipėda.
The Memel Statute remained in effect until March 23, 1939, when Lithuania was forced to accept a German ultimatum demanding the return of Memelland. At the close of World War II, it was returned to Lithuania, which by then had become part of the U.S.S.R.

I've always had the plaque above but only in recent years have I discovered Marian spirituality, a la Saint Louis De Montfort. This gives a new depth and scope to the original sentiments on the plaque.

A wonderfully restored plaque de cocher. These road signs were introduced in 1845 and were still in place in the 1930's, when most of them were replaced by vitreous enamel Michelin road signs.

A chance find whilst on foot in Christchurch.
The makers of this modern plaque probably meant it to say 1752, which is why it's no longer available from Amazon.
