Most of the Ridgeway signs are black wood, or made out of a modern material called Plaswood (made out of recycled plastics.) This one was slightly different - an old, slightly rusting metal sign.

I'm adding this to the pre-Worboys signs for now as
1) Public road/
2) Design/
although the font doesn't seem 100% (capital G usual giveaway) I'm not aware of any other signs made like this besides one in Hillingdon Council for horses.
So as it follows the standard pre-Worboys format for information signs I can't think of any reason it isn't, unless it was either made by the council or the developers when they built the new road and housing estate. Any views on this dilemma?
Ghost sign: 'Warings Wilton Factories from London Wall', Shepperton Road, N1.
A familiar street, a different day, I've noticed this sign many times before but today the light seems right.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
The Stop here on red sign turns on when the main street is yellow or green. Essentially, this is a crosswalk that can have light use, in front of a fire station entrance. In order to add emphasis, the sign turns on when the main street is to stop.
This was done by running the signs on the red output for load switches 15 and 16 (one for eastbound, one for westbound). There is a logic statement in the controller that states that when phase 2 is yellow, or red, the red for LS 15 turns on. Similar for phase 6 and LS 16. The reds were used to not have to modify the monitor settings. It could have been done with one load switch, using the yellow and green outputs, but that would have required some extra work in the monitor.
A look at Shirley Station. This was the first time I caught a train from here, although have passed by here in the past by train or on a bus.
The road bridge on Haslucks Green Road is closed for 10 weeks until late April 2017 (a new road bridge will be installed).
The station was opened by the Great Western Railway on 1 June 1908, along with the line. It was considered an important station and was provided with substantial brick built buildings. The station was also provided with a goods yard and shed, which lasted until 1968.
Until October 2010, Shirley station was the terminus for many commuter services from Birmingham which didn't run through to Stratford. These services were extended to terminate at the next station Whitlocks End, with the commissioning of a new turnback facility. This was done in order to alleviate traffic congestion at Shirley station, by encouraging commuters to drive to Whitlocks End, which had space for proper park and ride facilities. The 1907 built signalbox that stood on the Stratford-upon-Avon bound platform became redundant, and was demolished at the end of 2010, despite a local campaign to see its retention.
Station sign with old style lantern lamppost.
I took this photo for the old sign which says:
Notice
Any person found trespassing or depositing rubbish or committing a nuisance within these railings will be prosecuted
Once outside the railings, which are not now extensive, one may, presumably, commit a nuisance with impunity :)
From a walk around the block after I decided to break out the old manual 50MM lens with a 1.8 aperture.
Beloit's Ironworks Hotel (formerly known as the Beloit Inn).
I've been laid up for a few months and just noticed this today.
Spotted this in Failsworth, now I know that the A62, A635 and A672 are slap-bang in the middle of the Pennine Moors but why have this sign here? I can understand it being nearer to Oldham but in Failsworth?
P.S. This is NOT in the Manchester City Boundary (even though the postcode for Failsworth is M35) but in Oldham so i've no idea why the additional info bit is saying "Manchester City, England"
Seen at Slater's Diner in Raymond, Washington. I have to wonder if people in the 1950s saw this sign the way we do now.
