Today without engineering a visit we came across this by chance on a little trip to Herefordshire

This is, unless you know different, the most comprehensive list of AA Village Signs in Roadside locations in the United Kingdom. So...oo many things you can do with it! Is there one near you

Here's the challenge . Go and take a photo of your bike/dog/car next to one and post it up....hours of pointless endless fun . Roughly 70 on the list.

Herefordshire is full of lovely villages, quite a few in black and white!

I used to stand in for the manager at our company's Hereford shop back in the fifties, loved the place, full of beautiful girls, eye candy.
I knew most of the villages, a large part of our custom was gypsy, they were there for the hop and fruit picking .


One of the villages was called Suckley, some local wags regularly removed the ' le ' from the name on the signpost and replaced it with an ' m '

shame I missed that, we were back there this weekend to collect an eBay purchase. Lovely spot though, will visit again. Great Car Boot Sale there too "The Ketch", Sunday mornings. I had to resist Oxy Acetylene gear with BOC bottles for £100 ono

Looks like the sign at Bredon was still there on Pottery Cottage in August 2016 when the google streetview camera passed by.

Perhaps some members didnt realise this thread existed...

Recently came across another in the delightful village of Kersey in Suffolk

Well a couple of little fascinating discoveries about Kersey before We even get to the Pub!

It has a "famous" watersplash, but also a TR7 Convertible in the geograph pic!
