Old AA sign
This enamel village sign dating from about 1923 is one of about a dozen still displayed in villages in Cumbria. 30,000 such signs were set up throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland from 1907 to the late 1930s. Taken down in 1940, many were destroyed but a small proportion survive in their village, in museums and private collections.
