Ickleford: Pre-Worboys Report road sign

Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 13 Jun 2010

This is a rare survivor, in Hertfordshire at least, of a road direction sign pre-dating the 1964 Worboys Report with its wholesale changes to road signage. It is at a three-way road junction, and presumably at one time had a third arm pointing away down the road from the photographer in the direction of Letchworth and Baldock, that is no longer present. The blackboard advertises food availability times at Image which is opposite. The lych gate entrance to Image is visible to the left.
