The New Zealand (2) - sign, 175 Buckingham Road, Aylesbury, Bucks
The sign shows a picture of the famous Captain James Cook (1728-1779), who made the first recorded circumnavigation of New Zealand. The picture seems to be closely based on the painting of Captain Cook by Nathaniel Dance-Holland of about 1775, which is at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich London. Although Captain Cook has no known direct link with Aylesbury, the pub is in what was a hamlet of that name, now part of Aylesbury, and was apparently named after a breed of cow of that name.

Footpath from Buckingham Road to Northern Road, Aylesbury
There is no made surface, and for its entire length it would have been quite soggy and muddy were it not for it being largely crisped up with frost. At least it has had last season's growth cleared here, as far as rubbish allows.
