The parked van allows us only a glimpse along this snaking no-through road, but that glimpse tells us that it consists of desirable detached houses and is not a modern cul-de-sac like many of the infill developments in the area. The sign also tells us that the road isn't modern: it looks like an ordinary 1980s sign mounted on tubular steel (such as the one at Image), but careful scrutiny will tell us that the lettering and black border is embossed in the metalwork and not put on adhesively like the more modern variety. This makes it one of the older, perhaps 1960s, nameplates. This is photo no.39 of a series of 451 in my coronavirus lockdown walking project: See https://www.geograph.org.uk/article/My-2020-Coronavirus-Lockdown-walking-project for the complete set of photos.
