Hilgay village sign
Some detergent wouldn’t go amiss. Placed beneath a tree, it’s blending in to its surroundings. Hilgay's village sign has what appears to be a cannon but does in fact represent a Manby Mortar, invented by Captain George William Manby to rescue passengers from ships in distress near the shore. Despite being Great Yarmouth born, Captain Manby is buried in All Saints Church in Hilgay, at which the mortar is pointing. Above the name, the row of Xs are representing Hilgay Bridge which crosses the River Wissey. The musical instruments represent Hilgay Silver/Brass Band established since 1896 and still active. I hope they clean their instruments more regularly than the sign. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6804295
