Description
Cast-iron road sign, erected c.1940, comprising rectangular sign having rounded corners with raised text and harp motif. Mounted on circular-profile pole, located at road junction.
Appraisal
A notable example of early twentieth-century road furniture, this road sign has a simplicity and clarity of design typical of this time. Its functional nature is enhanced and emphasised by casting using capital letters in a clear simple font without serifs. The harp motif indicates a date of production after the foundation of the State.
