NHER 58814 (Monument record) - Early 20th century road sign

January 2012. Listed. Grade II.
Listing description (S1):
A road traffic sign, known as a prohibition disc, dating from between 1904 and 1919. It comprises a cast-iron column that is approximately 9 feet (2.7m) in height, painted with black and white bands with a cast-iron disc that has a diameter of approximately 18 inches (450 mm) painted red. The column has ring detailing at its base and mid-shaft, and a simple, decorative post cap which forms the base of the disc. At the top of the column there is a pair of mounting brackets to take an instruction plate. A modern 'Neighbourhood Watch Area' sign has been attached to the column in the late C20.
Only a few hundred of these signs were ever erected.

This sign, now listed, was one of two signs which stood at each end of the coast road through the village (now replaced by the B1159) until 1937. The other one , now gone, was located near the present village sign.
This sign originally included a vehicle size restriction sign which was removed sometime between 1989 and 2012.
