Re: Norwich Union
Could it be a Fire Insurance Mark?

Re: Norwich Union
Oooh, too clever. Assuming it's genuine, which it's believed to be, then that's what it is.
Re: Norwich Union
Well spotted, bet there can't be many of them around, specially in Bradley. Any idea of the age of the house?

Re: Norwich Union
There wasn't a date on the house and it wasn't mentioned in the village history publication I bought. Of course, the insurance sign wasn't necessarily up there from when it was first built, it was probably a later owner who took out the insurance.

It is suprising what you find when you Google!

Fire Insurance Mark - I've also seen "Sun Insurance" ones.
I suspected that there is something of a market for them and I hope that is a replica up on the wall.
