And the dashed lines; it was these that had a meaning — What was it?

The dashed line meant that the road lead to the road below it in a short distance, as a road is shown in brackets nowadays. Routes in brackets were to be found further away down the named routes. I Think!! :)

The dashed lines mean that the indicated place is 'turning off' the main road above.
Not sure that was widely known back then.

...and then we have the "detached" pre-Warboys signs provided by the Royal Automobile Club one with the previously unintelligible black and white banner.

How's your memories :?: Have an August 2021 go at this old poser :-D

But what about their traditional rivals. Well here's a couple of their old signs still in situ.

No attempt at concealment or deviousness but anyone know of the top of their head where these signs are?

Worth a virtual can of Top Deck Limeade and Lager at a push :-D

There's a nice little business in Notices, interpretative boards etc, and a nice location to work from.

Osprey Signs the Old Powerhouse Etal Northumberland. There work is all over the Country. Have a flick through their gallery. https://www.ospreyco.com/gallery
