Looking along this very short turning off Oswald Road. The detached early-20th-century house facing us across the dead end is typical of the road and of the whole area. The sign is a rare survival: one of the old 1950s, perhaps earlier, cast iron signs with embossed lettering, attached to a single concrete post. I think it may be earlier than the standard survivor of this kind, as it has a taller, narrower typeface than the norm (see for example Image). This is photo no.95 of a series of 453 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.
