Yet another missing arm on this old signpost with the B road designation seemingly attached as an afterthought. Situated at Carron Bridge, nr.Stirling on 18/4/75.
Kirkby Stephens vintage signpost, unusually showing Miles and Furlongs is prominent in this view during the 2007 Kirkby Stephen Rally on Sunday 8 April: West Yorkshire ECW bodied Bristol KG5, East Yorkshire AEC Regent with Beverley Bar profile and ex Teeside Municipal Transit NC bodied Daimler Fleetline can be seen amongst the heavy traffic in the town.

At this point you will see the Atlantic on your left and the Mediterranean on the right. Two of the world's five oceans can be seen from this point. About 71% of our planet is covered by oceans. More than half of the surface oceans are more than 3,000 meters deep.
Tanger
Tanger ( طنجة) is a city in northwestern Morocco, on the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. The city is the capital of the Tanger-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region, as well as the Tangier-Assilah Prefecture of Morocco.
Many civilisations and cultures have influenced the history of Tangier, starting from before the 10th century BCE. Starting as a strategic Phoenician town and trading centre, Tangier has been a nexus for many cultures. In 1923, it became an international zone managed by colonial powers and became a destination for many European and American diplomats, spies, bohemians, writers and businessmen. That status came to an end with Moroccan independence, in phases between 1956 and 1960.
By the early 21st century, Tangier was undergoing rapid development and modernisation. Projects include tourism projects along the bay, a modern business district called Tangier City Centre, an airport terminal, and a football stadium. Tangier's economy is set to benefit greatly from the Tanger-Med port.
This is the Signpost Forest in the village of Watson Lake, Yukon. The Signpost Forest was started by U.S. soldier Carl K. Lindley during the construction of the Alaska Highway in 1942. He posted a sign with the mileage to his hometown, Danville, Illinois. The Signpost Forest has been growing ever since. Supposedly there are now 80,000 signs and I believe it. So what are the chances that I would stumble upon a sign from Tatamagouche, Nova Scotia? Pretty good I guess because I found it in about five minutes.
Background info: In my privileged youth I spent summers in Tatamagouche, swimming in the ocean and enjoying the ambiance of Nova Scotia without really knowing the history of Nova Scotia.
Tatamagouche is the mispronunciation of the Miꞌkmaq word for meeting of the waters. European and British invaders arrived in Tatamagouche in the 1700's and commenced fighting with each other and burning each other's houses down during the Guerre de la Conquête.
Because no one had expected so beautiful weather conditions, signposts on exposed positions were already removed. But blocked mountain paths are still normally accessible. As I could see only a few hikers exploit it. The most mountain restaurants have closed and in the valleys it's shady and cool. Switzerland, Wasserauen, Ebenalp, Nov 19, 2011.
