tozzin Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Went to Eckington today and had cause to pass what was the Prince of Wales Pub and I spotted this informative sign on the wall above the door but I don't know what it indicates, anyone have any idea what it points to?

History dude Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Presumably an early fire hydrant sign the distance to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unrecordings Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 anyone else having problems posting ? for what it's worth, this is what I was trying to post on Wednesday: I'd say it's something similar to a Fire Hydrant I initially thought it might be V for Vent as in sewer vent, but then I found this website (scroll down near the bottom) which suggests it could be an old Fire Hydrant sign or maybe a Valve for the water main http://mike.da2c.org/igg/rail/00-app1/st-furn.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tozzin Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 I'm satisfied that it DOES mean Valve, so problem solved, thanks to unrecordings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
