AA village sign, Patrickswell, Ireland
AA village sign, Patrickswell, Ireland
The enamelled Automobile Association sign has the village name Patrickswell in the centre, with distances to Limerick, Adare, and Killarney. See Colne Valley Postal History Museum website LinkExternal link for information about these signs, erected from 1906 to about 1920. This may be an early one before the AA merger with Motor Union, as there are no wings on the AA badge - but maybe Irish signs had a different design. See R5249 : Public house in Patrickswell for photo of the pub on which this sign is placed. Signs in England have distance from London, for example see SK7476 : Old sign in Upton.
