@RoadsignReport1 @ShowMeASignBryn Yes, here's one thanks to @archivesplus - Redish Lane at Gorton #Manchester with the back of the Stockport sign! You can just make out the City of Manchester one as well - lots to see inc. I 'think' a Thirlmere Aqueduct MCCW stone. flic.kr/p/XaK3UN
But no one know how much, as a child, I wanted one of these - and a Rochdale one as well! If I'd had a hacksaw. Old City of Manchester borough boundary sign. @ShowMeASignBryn @RoadsignReport1 @archivesplus #MANCHESTER flic.kr/p/22hmP92
Doing a bit of lunchtime research in the strong room - quite impressed myself - using the finding tools found the item I was after - still got it ! @archivesplus
