It's that way
A pre-Worboys sign has been left on the ground for some reason. Maybe it will be resurrected, maybe it will be replaced with a modern version.

Box boxed
The features of most of the grid square containing Box can be seen here, looking north from a footpath that descends to the village. The A4 can be seen ascending Box Hill in the centre right of the photo. The railway line comes out of a small tunnel just behind the line of trees in the left middle distance (Middle Hill). It runs left to right on an embankment behind the village (above the white roofed building) then goes underneath the A4 and almost immediately enters Box tunnel. The valley in the centre background is that of the By Brook, having flowed towards us from Castle Combe. It flows under the railway, in front of Middle Hill and off to the west (left) towards Bath.

2008 : The Queens' Head, Box
It takes a close look at the sign to reveal the apostrophe, but surely it should be Heads.
