This nice old sign once resided very close to the border by the Anchor Hotel. Its removal by the council caused an outcry and it was eventually returned to an insignificant location in a layby some 100 metres from the border. It now has to fight for recognition with a street light (plus Christmas decorations), and advertising hoardings for a Saab dealership and a Shell petrol station. The odd angle of the shot is the only way to do some sort of justice to the sign without including all the other items.
