Happy Birthday!

Here's an old street sign from Birmingham for you. You can see exactly the same style of street sign in some of the older streets in Newcastle-under-Lyme and I've always assumed that they date from the late 19th century

Thank you Berenice. There used to be identical signs (as I remember) in Leeds. I think their use might have gone on till WW1, as the street I had a flat in in Beeston (and all the streets around) had one and these were being built around 1905.

My memory tells me that the railway set-up was quite interesting although very small
