The first segment of Hillcrest Road, to our left, forms quite an important back road whose mainline continues downhill to our right as Priory View Road. The offshoot ahead of us, as its name suggests continuing on the crest of the hill rather than heading down it, is a dead end. The road sign is a standard one from around 2000-2006, perhaps a little earlier, featuring the borough coat of arms. The no-through-road sign incorporated into the sign would in days gone by be situated on the left, towards the dead end - but nowadays it is just a standard design with the sign on the right regardless of the direction intended by its meaning. This is photo no.199 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.
