Oil Seed Rape at Cotgrave
Cotgrave was one of the most southerly coal mining villages in the Nottinghamshire coal fields opened in the 1960s. A huge National Coal Board owned housing estate was built to the south and east of the village to accommodate hundreds of "immigrant" miners from the closing Scottish and North Eastern mines.

Please drive slowly
Better still, don't drive at all! That is the correct meaning of this sign, taken at face value. In fact it is a 30mph restriction sign from which the figures have been stripped.
