Ramsbury: Oxford Street
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 12 Jul 2009
Looking north-eastwards from The Square up Oxford Street, there is a fine old yellow and black AA & MU road sign on the wall of the house on the left. It reads: Aldbourne 3 RAMSBURY. Marlborough 7 London 68 Erected by the A.A. & M.U. The M.U. was the Motor Union and amalgamated with the Automobile Association around 1910, which gives a clue to the sign's age. Curiously, and possibly because it is in a different county to Ramsbury, Hungerford in Berkshire, which is only 5 miles away, did not warrant a mention on the sign.
