 Hi ,Gordo . That's an unusual version for sure . Have you acquired it yourself , or just chanced on the picture . Southminster is a few miles from Southend -on-Sea in the county of Essex .Am guessing it must have been made for a specific place or location .

No, not mine.

It's on the US Ebay site, a bit pricey for a foreign sign for them Yanks, $1295

Ah I see its double sided, made by Bruton Palmers Green. Too pricey and look at the shipping cost.

I like Bruton of Palmers Green signs. They have got the thickest enamel I’ve ever seen. Absolutely blinding depth of gloss on them.

These were put up for cyclist/motoring attraction on the roadside, as a bit of publicity for Lyons too. Raleigh did similar (for cyclists), and tgere is that famous one advertising Daimler on a town or resort sign (think its in Cotswold Motoring Museum??)
