Sherborne: road signs of varying vintage in Long Street
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 24 Oct 2009
Here we see a modern signpost directing through traffic up St. Swithin's Road, because Long Street ahead shortly becomes one-way in the opposite direction. Attached to the same pole is a fairly modern pedestrian direction sign of a fairly common design and a very old sign pointing towards the car park. From up close, it is just possible to discern the word FREE, which has been painted over at some point, in the white rectangle on the arrow. The Long Street name plate is quite old, too.
