Urmston, fingerpost
Image: © Mike Faherty Taken: 25 Jan 2009
At the junction of Station & Church Roads; a relic of pre-1964 days. In that year, the Worboys Committee recommended that all local forms of road signs be abolished; this post has a ring finial showing URMSTON UDC, which disappeared anyway 10 years later. A nice touch of local distinctiveness, even if the current local council doesn't maintain the post as it should.
