Old and new street nameplates

At the corner of Upper Sutherland Street and Millig Street. The cast iron street nameplate above (for Sutherland St) is still as legible as when it was made (and would be more so if painted). The newer modern street name sign (for Upper Sutherland Street) has faded so much it is almost illegible.
