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.

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