Signs on Apex Drive, Frimley
There is a story behind the current arrangement of signs. The custom made triangle is not beware of cats (although that is always a good idea), but the plaque below originally had '20's purrfect' underneath. That was replaced by the original warning sign (pre-Worboys) which was originally above it and provided the message on its own, as presumably the speed limit was unofficial and unlawful. Because the old sign is now on a wider part of the lamp post they had to remove the old bracket and replaced it with gardening twine which is not a good idea. Finally the houses may not have been built till the mid 60s, meaning either the road was made a little earlier or the danger sign was taken from a supply after the design had been made obsolete. But a very lucky survivor, one represented in various versions, with caution being a standard alternative, or adding the danger underneath.

Apex Drive, Frimley
That rarity in British architecture - a modern housing estate which makes no nods to the past. No fake beams, no ill-fitting porticos, no leaded windows. The development comprises eight blocks, each containing four flats. They are clad in white-grey brick. Built in 1966-69 to the designs of Derek Sharp Associates.

Although described elsewhere as flats every one I saw appeared to have a single entrance and just very large houses. Here is the main information and with no surprise won an architectural award https://camberleyobserved.wordpress.com/2012/11/23/prize-winning-architecture-in-apex-drive-frimley/

Apex Drive, Frimley
The Apex Drive development was designed by Lawrence Abbot and built by the Apex Society, founded in 1965, to provide 'affordable housing in Greater London and the Home Counties'. These unusual properties were built from grey brick and white mortar which contains sparkly quartz. Each block is a square, divided by a kind of flattened S-shaped wall which produces an interesting internal curved wall for each apartment, ending with a curved window where it meets the outside wall. The guttering is hidden within the fabric of the walls.
