The blue sign for the National Cycle Network route 55 points up Elm Field Road. I thought this was a new sign although I was puzzled by it as Marple and Macclesfield are actually in the opposite direction. Research using Google Streetview reveals that the sign was erected between April 2011 and August 2012 and then pointed towards Bredbury Hall. At some time between July 2019 and October 2020 the sign was turned round and now points in the wrong direction. NCN route 55 runs from Ironbridge to Preston https://www.sustrans.org.uk/find-a-route-on-the-national-cycle-network/route-55
