There is a story behind the current arrangement of signs. The custom made triangle is not beware of cats (although that is always a good idea), but the plaque below originally had '20's purrfect' underneath. That was replaced by the original warning sign (pre-Worboys) which was originally above it and provided the message on its own, as presumably the speed limit was unofficial and unlawful. Because the old sign is now on a wider part of the lamp post they had to remove the old bracket and replaced it with gardening twine which is not a good idea. Finally the houses may not have been built till the mid 60s, meaning either the road was made a little earlier or the danger sign was taken from a supply after the design had been made obsolete. But a very lucky survivor, one represented in various versions, with caution being a standard alternative, or adding the danger underneath.
