Pictoral village sign outside village hall, in the village of Lindsey, Suffolk.
Erected to commemorate the Queen's Silver Jubilee in 1977, according to the plaque.
The lovely village sign in Lindsey, suffolk is almost hidden by a high hedge of cypress leylandii.
It features both the church of St. Peter, which is less than 50m away, and the chapel of St. James - about 1 km away. The sheep signify that Lindsey was once a prosperous "wool village" - in fact, a woollen cloth was named after it. A coarser cloth was named after the neighbouring village of Kersey.
The red and white roses are not only the emblems of the Royal Houses of Lancaster and York, but refer to the names of the two village pubs. Alas, the White Rose is now closed.
The sign appears to have been repainted at least once, as other images on the web show signs of rust.
