Save this sign…
Ross sent me this photo which is of an old metallic sign that is currently free to take for anyone who has the necessary tools.
His message follows:
“It’s within plastic barriers for an excavation in the pavement but I pulled it out of a pile of rubble so I think it’ll get thrown away – maybe it got dug out of the ground anyway. I’m sure you can just take it if you want it – it’s a bit cumbersome for me (you’d need a trailer?). It’s in Hereford Road London W2 by Westbourne Grove.”
Go get it! (And please post a comment with any updates on its movements)
