This house has two Fire Hydrant Signs, the one we are more familiar with in yellow, and an old blue and white enamel one, higher up. (For those unfamiliar with these signs, the top figure is the diameter in millimetres of the water main supplying the hydrant, the bottom figure is the distance the hydrant is away from the sign in metres. In some places the hydrant signs remain in imperial units - inches diameter and feet away.)
