Full Description
A guide to cast-metal signs, an under-researched aspect of Britain's industrial history.
The manufacture of cast-metal signs is an aspect of Britain's industrial history about which remarkably little research has been carried out, and yet the output of the unsung but highly-skilled craftsmen who created those signs was essential, informative, instructive and undoubtedly saved countless lives. The sign-makers made everything from the little brass 'Do not use the toilet while the train is standing in the station' signs in railway carriages and the nameplates and maker's plates on locomotives, right up to very large two-part signs.
A fascinating account for anyone interested in railway or industrial history.
