During the early decades of the 20th century, the Automobile Association erected thousands of signs like this in towns and villages throughout the country. The vast majority were taken down during World War II, and few survived. For information and a splendid gallery, see Colne Valley Postal History Museum website : http://www.cvphm.org.uk/AAVillageSigns.html . The sign is located here Image . It certainly looks old, but we couldn't say if this was its original position - it does not appear on a photo taken in 2002 http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=72672 .
