Two images stitched together, I left the black frame as it was because I didn't want to lose too much of the cottage in the crop.
Maldon Iron Works post with only one of the four arms being original. Just a paint job in a banded livery would make this a nice village centrepiece. Grid ref: TL 9675 2003
It is EX_TL9620 on the Milestone Society fingerpost database.
This 'fingerposr' appears to have been made from a recycled arm and attached to a suitable steel pillar. It is located on un-named lanes south of Bix at grid ref: SU 7321 8451
This post is a product of IRS Ltd. It has suffered a common problem with posts of this type - the iron pillar has rusted through at bground level so has now been embedded into a concrete base. It is located at TL 4460 3832. Although looking much like a Maldon Iron Works post ir differs having heavier castings and no taper to the pillar. Photo 2004
Midden op het meer staat deze wegwijzer. De zon lost langzaam maar zeker de mist op. Wij volgden de stokken, anders kun je met mist alleen oriƫnteren met GPS.

In the middle of the lake there is this signpost. The sun is slowly but surely clearing away the fog. We followed the stakes on the lake, otherwise one has to rely on GPS for finding the way.
These signposts are dotted around Leeds city centre as wayfinders for the general public. Research has failed to show when they were placed but given there is a metro sign and 'Leeds' shopping plaza' on the sign I assume they are more recent than they look. They are nice civic signs and lend their hand to the public with a clear, white, sanserif typeface. They are there without wanting to attract too much attention and I like that restrained effort. It makes them seem trustworthy - as any sign should be, really.
