    Dunlop

    I was walking down Ashold road reminiscing about working at Dunlop last week, when I spotted this cast iron sign. Obviously must mean "Dunlop Rubber Co Ltd". I was wondering what it was for? It is now in front of the new Jaguar K Block.

    Thanks Rosary Boy. I think since Latif's moved into part of it, the place is locked up as tight as a drum.

    Identifying a railway sign?

    I saw this sign nearly covered with undergrowth at Hampton-in-Arden railway station. Does anyone know what it means?

    The old station will not be touched. The new walkway will be at the other end. Sympathetic to the old station
