This 1964 telegraph pole can be seen in its full entirety here Image From top to bottom, the signage represents: The most recent inspection date and type (entirely faded); the sequential Distribution Point identifier; the D plate (decayed; unsuitable to climb by ladder); what is presumably a warning to kite-flyers; and an "A1024" notice (contents is entirely faded), which directly instructs for the pole's imminent repair or replacement
