Broadwindsor: ancient and modern road signs
Broadwindsor: ancient and modern road signs
A modern chevron sign guides motorists around the one-way system through Broadwindsor village centre. Above it, a rarer survival is the pre-Worboys sign performing the same function. This dates from before 1961, when the Worboys report would lead to the familiar signage which is used today.
