Verwood: twin towns signpost
This looks like a useful tool for the misguided motorist, but in fact it wouldn't help him very much. The finial is like an old Dorset fingerpost top, which has location and grid reference on it, but this one says VERWOOD, THREE LEGGED CROSS, TWINNING – and the signs point toward their twin towns of Liederbach, 485 miles to the left, and Champtoceaux, 246 miles to the right.
See Image and Image for close-ups of the signpost and Image for the nearest example of the type of sign which it mimics.

Verwood centre
Some people think the name derives from 'Fayre wood' from the many trees in the area.
In the 1960's and 70's many new estates sprang up and by the 1990's it was feared that over development could take place.
