Old painted sign just visible below.

The old painted sign, just visible behind the new sign, appears to start "Queen's" suggesting that this street was formerly known as Queen's Way?

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...)
