Street nameplate mounted on London brick
An enamelled steel or aluminium nameplate. Font: Transport, the standard type design for road signs. The widely-spaced letters aid quick recognition and easy reading. Transport was designed by Jock Kinneir and Margaret Calvert for the planned motorway network; the big blue and white signs were tested on the Preston Bypass, now part of the M6, and appeared on the first section of the M1 in 1959. Thereafter the font was adopted for signage on all UK roads and has been widely used in other countries.

Street nameplate mounted on a brown brick wall
No visible fixings in this frontal view, unlike Image The plate appears to stand proud of the wall. Although all upper-case, the letters are in a widely-spaced condensed font, making them easy to read. The typeface for the streetname looks for all the world like Franklin Gothic Extra Condensed, designed by Morris Fuller Benton for American Type Founders and issued in 1906. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_Gothic The grid reference may not be quite correct but, hey, it's a short street.

Street nameplate mounted on London brick
Surprising survival: a cast metal (probably cast iron) nameplate in an older style. The little quadrants cut out of the corners are somehow in keeping with the style of typeface, a condensed Egyptian: Egyptian and Tuscan faces are characterised by slab serifs.
