What is recorded here
Freestanding cast-iron road sign, erected c. 1940, comprising rectangular sign having rounded edges mounted on circular-profile pole with raised text and harp motif.
A notable example of early twentieth-century road furniture, this road sign has a simplicity and clarity of design typical of its time. Its functional nature is enhanced and emphasised by casting using capital letters in a clear simple font without serifs. The harp motif indicates a date of production after the foundation of the State.
