One hundred and eighty-two and a half miles to London


This old road sign stands on the A6 outside Stockport Town Hall.

Distances were then measured to within a quarter of a mile.

A contribution to signs, signs.

    It probably took a lot longer to go 1/2 a mile in those days!

    Those fractions look odd, yet so exact!

    What a classic UK sign with that added tough of the 1/2 mile. That is too funny. Gotta get it right! genie

    This is a sign that could only have been designed by an engineer. Such precision!
