As mentioned today Kev (Red Dwarfers) claimed the Porlock AA Box in 2016 with some nice photos.
This one is photobombed by a very nice direction sign

Unless I was blind, the Porlock AA Box was not there when we went past on the Saunter... And that was wearing my new glasses too...

Re: 'Fingerpost' Direction Signs...
Its Grade II Listed Jim, and had a refurb from its previous sorry state before Kev's Photo's in 2016. It was there on google Streetview in 2018. Would be surprised if it wasnt there.CitroJim wrote: 31 Oct 2023, 14:32 Unless I was blind, the Porlock AA Box was not there when we went past on the Saunter...

Re: 'Fingerpost' Direction Signs...
Today on my bike I visited the town with no name...
It looks like the town in question has had its borders moved a little as a new sign has been erected about a quarter of a mile further along this road...

Re: 'Fingerpost' Direction Signs...
Up close and personal with this one today, nice red railway logo, and with pristine lettering and the ring at the top declaring Northumberland Coast A.O.N.B. It isn't an original Cast Iron sign, with all the associated patina of the years, but a very decent reproduction and the fractions of a mile have thankfully been reproduced.

Re: 'Fingerpost' Direction Signs...
I had a feeling you had gone on tour Neil as expressed here. and it seems I was right!! Excellent selection of pictures brought back especially the train buff stuff!! Now the question is have you seen The September Shuffle plans developing?
