Croydon: Signs on the footpath
Image: © Dr Neil Clifton Taken: 5 Feb 2010
The scene here looks peaceful enough, with the churchyard in front of the paved path, but behind the photographer a dual-carriageway roars along, supposedly restricted to 40 mph, (a limit that is ignored by many drivers). These signs show the point at which this road, and also the path, changes name from Roman Way (to the north) to Old Town (to the south).
