There were similar signs on all main roads, at the boundary of the town of Sutton Coldfield. In 1974 Sutton Coldfield became part of Birmingham and the city council removed the Sutton Coldfield signs. Since then some have been purchased by private individuals and placed on private land as close as possible to their original locations. This particular one was about 1 metre closer to the camera.
