Lee Green: a baffling old, mislocated sign

A closer view of the door to the old Provincial Building Society in Leegate Shopping Centre (see Image). There are a couple of baffling things about the sign. Firstly, most obviously, is that we are seemingly welcomed to the Slough High Street branch; but secondly, the Provincial was merged to become the National & Provincial in 1982, and the latter was itself subsumed by the Abbey National in 1996. So one wonders how this sign (a) came to be here in the first place and (b) has lasted so long since it presumably became redundant 37 years ago.
