NHER 57037 (Structure record) - 1921 style Place Name Sign for Weasenham

One of 28 surviving 1921 Ministry of Transport style Place Name Signs. This sign is lozenge-shaped and is divided horizontally in three sections. The top, triangular section is occasionally used to indicate which road the sign is positioned on, however it is blank on this sign. The middle, rectangular section contains the name of the town the sign is for, and this sign reads “WEASENHAM/PLEASE/DRIVE SLOWLY”. The bottom, triangular section is used to display the authority that is responsible for the upkeep of the sign and reads “NORFOLK C. C.”.

According to (S1) this is a modern replacement of a previous, original sign at this location. It was made in 2002 by IRL Ltd, and is situated on the original post of the sign that it replaced.

See (S1) for further information on this and the other 1921 Ministry of Transport style signs.
