There were 60000 of these village signs erected up to the outbreak of World War 1. With World War 2, they were mostly removed so as not to aid the enemy. About 600 survived at that time. Today there are about 100 left either in situ or in collections.
Visit Instructions:
To claim this log: Only the first person/group/team to log each sign can claim it.
Your close up photograph must clearly show what is written on the sign.
We have claimed the Hawkesbury Upton sign. We know of 6 others throughout England.

We will also accept other circular AA signs of this type such as those celebrating the centre line of totality of the 1927 solar eclipse (we know there is at least one of these waiting to be claimed).
