On wall of St Mary Abchurch

Perhaps to help him find his way home after having a few too many in the Cheshire Cheese?

Taken from the bus.

Carnaby Street sign can just be seen, bottom left.

Leading to St Ervans Road via Morgan Road. Sounds complicated... Note the old, partially obscured painted sign.

What interests me about these signs is that although they appear to date from the same time there are subtle differences. They are situated opposite each other at the junction with Bayswater Rd. Why the colon after the leading to... on the upper sign? Why have the postcode twice on the lower one (which also appears to use a narrower font)? Also, on this pair, both streets are given the same prominence whereas in the Orme Court sign (previous pic) the leading to... is in a smaller font (which is generally the case I seem to recall).

What interests me about these signs is that although they appear to date from the same time there are subtle differences. They are situated opposite each other at the junction with Bayswater Rd. Presumably the lower one is slightly narrower to fit in the space between the pillars but why two lines for the leading to ... section and why is Bark Place underlined? (And is it actually interesting, I find myself wondering...)

Added bonus of Victorian letterbox. Were there once elm trees here? If so, I imagine they perished in the Dutch Elm Disease outbreak of the 1960's.

Choice of steps or slope...
