The sign shows flint knappers at work knapping gun flints from the large black flints which are found in this area of Suffolk. Flint knapping has been well established in the area since Neolithic times when deep mines were sunk to find the best flint for knapping. The mines, known as Grimes Graves are open to the public. The sign is double sided but the same both sides. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6663353
