I heard of this barn too. Apparently a lot were cut at an angle to fit the pitch of the roof.
Cheers

Hey Al, that sounds like the same barn, it was gigantic. I was only a kid and was with my uncle on his Ginsters pasty delivery round at the time. I just saw it out of the corner of my eye as he was tearing down some country lane! We went back and had a look, it was unbelievable the sheer amount of signs making up the hay barn. He didnt have the space in his van or the time for us to dismantle it all. I never went back there for some reason and have no idea now where exactly in devon it was... |

Well seen a few of these go on fleabay for close to the £300 mark, last one for £275, and seen 1 or 2 of the near mint ones go for around £450-500.
Similar prices to the BP but these are rarer cos thay are the Irish Version.
Shall i keep an eye out for one for you?

Hi Plymouth,I was referring to the Union Jack BP, the picture of the Irish version didnt load when I replied,very nice but prefer the UJ BP. |

Oops my bad.
You could probably snap a similar one up for between £140-200 depending on condition of course.
Again the near mint of these go for 450-500 but you wouldnt want to put one of them on your fence...
This is 6x4 but theres a 5x3 version as well... |
