The otherwise rather utilitarian bridge no 142, immediately below Ravens Lane Lock, has recently acquired this colourful sign. The modern name, Grand Union, came about only after a merger in 1929 of which the Grand Junction was a constituent part. A similar sign on the opposite side reads 'Port of Berkhamsted'.
