Old Direction Signpost, Shiremoor

  • Description

    "This signpost is a reminder of what road signs were like before they were redesigned by Margaret Calvert in the 1960s. Dating back to the late 18th or early 19th century, this signpost was manufactured by Smith, Patterson & Co. of Blaydon and is Grade II Listed. Since the construction of the Shiremoor By-pass in 2009, the junction where the sign stands has been reconfigured with the result that the sign now performs a less functional role.
