The Shires


My quest to find mismatched and odd street signs takes me to The Shires, a small no-through-road off Church Road.

On one side of the entrance is this old sign, devoid of any information other than the street name. The sign is too wide for the lettering and the sign writer chose to add the extra whitespace between the two words, which just looks wrong.

 

On the east side is a much newer sign of an appropriate width. It has more information, i.e. that it is a no-through-road and is in Ham, though the word "Ham", below the "ES" is almost unreadable.
