Kent County Council initiated a cull of traditional signposts in the 1960s and 70s, replacing cast iron and wooden signposts with modern reflective versions. A few survived such as this example at Doddington, a village in the North Downs south of Sittingbourne.
The wonky signpost of Hampden Road. A well known landmark. OK, actually not a well known landmark at all, but it should be in any decent world.

I found an alternative footpath to Sileby Mill. The canal towpath was closed for repairs of erosion. Sadly, it looks as if there was a recent fatal road accident near this sign, which is just by a bridge over the river and canal.
This sign was still in situ in Kirkby Stephen, Easter 2006. I've never seen one showing furlongs before.
A very sad looking Maldon Iron Works fingerpost. The top arm painted out as it points towards a place no longer there. Another arm towards Bishops Storford broken off. A fourth arm directed to the railway station but bprobably removed when the station closed. Note the unusual 'GREAT DUNMOW' legend down the side of the pillar. Photo taken 2002 and it is located at TL 8298 2161. It once looked like www.flickr.com/photos/13171205@N08/8395923997/in/pool-816...
This sign post has appeared by the car park in a nearby village. The village doesn't have streets on a grid system, and is divided by an A road.
Standing by the signpost, it is very easy to see the Village Hall, the Tea Room and the Tiger Inn.
The local shops and P.O. (post office) - the destination of the mostly obscured pointer on this sign - are on the other side of the road. A sign giving directions would have been far more helpful than this silly signpost.
This signpost is located in the Square, Listowel and is an indication of the importance of literature and drama to the people of the area. Listowel is after all the Literary Capital of Ireland.
Signpost to High Wheeldon.

Nice to see the signpost act as a marker to indicate you're going the right way along the London Loop.
A small bridge emphasizes the role of a bridge as a natural connection between separated shores. It symbolizes the harmonious unity of humans and the environment, inviting us to explore the paths of nature and overcome both inner and outer boundaries.
Sunday, 29 March 2015: Soti Khola (597 m) to Khorlabesi (970 m).
Early start to minimise the time we’d need to walk in the heat of the day. The path paralleled the Budhi Gandaki river, sometimes high up above the waters and sometimes right down low beside them, but starting off with a metal suspension bridge to cross. Then ...
- Steps cut into rock, paths trodden in sand.
- Beautiful flowers.
- Cloudy. Humid. Hot.
Coffee at Lapubesi; lunch at a riverside “restaurant” under the shade of its corrugated iron roof; tea, camp, dinner and doctors at the Shangri-la Home Cottage & Tent House, Khorlabe(n)si.
Pizza and chips for dinner = winner!

The sign has been erected in preperation for the newly created Pennine Bridleway a 200 mile adventure for walkers, horse riders & mountain bikers. Following old packhorse routes, drovers roads & newly created bridleways, the 120 mile southern section is open inc. the 47 mile Mary Towneley Loop. Official opening of the full route Derbyshire to Cumbria due Summer 2012. When fully open, 100% will be available for horse riders, mountain bikers and walkers. This could be an interesting "soft option" to the Pennine way?.
