What is recorded here
Freestanding cast-iron rectangular road sign, erected c. 1940, with lettering and harp motif in relief.
A notable example of early twentieth-century street 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 installation after the foundation of the State.
