This has not only survived but been repainted quite recently. Originally these signs were not issued nationally as they were after the 1930s, but individually by local councils, this being an official county bridge as well. Interestingly although some were located facing the traffic many like this were set on the bridge itself, meaning most of the little traffic passing in those days may well not notice them. And they would certainly have needed to stop to read them as the print is far too small to read while moving.
