Old Signs

Britain's current road signs were brought in around 1963. Before that time, we used a very different system of road signs, some of which still somehow survive. This page presents a number of photos of these old-style signs. Many of them have been removed since being photographed and the number of signs like these on our roads shrinks every year.
