barrett Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I think that's just by West Dulwich station (where the railway bridge is), but not much of the rest of the landscape has survived warch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get paper map and a compass and draw circles centred on each location to the distance indicated, where they intersect should give you a triangulation. chaseracer and warch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favouritesĀ is this one. Ā These went through a phase of being stolen on a regular basis, so some now read Sandwich Ham This road sign was pictured in a school mathematics book I used during the 1970s! For the life of me I cannot remember why it was in the book, but it might have been something to do with symmetry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scruff Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I notice this gem every time I travel the A45 through Ryton. But where could I share such enthusiasm, I wonder. Once again AS serves up a blinder. There's a few more in our little corner of the world, I will endeavour to record them now. o mk2_craig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainBoom Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I've seen this one in Crayford for years, the sign is quite new, but the wording to me seems a bit old fashioned: which is a bummer for these guys: also, with all of the parked cars on Orchard Hill, a bit of a contradiction?
