North Eastern Railway Bridge Sign, c1903

Photobucket


This sign, commonly seen on most railway bridges in the UK, were known as 'Bridge Diamonds'. They specified the maximum weight for road vehicles that were able to cross the railway bridge they were affixed to, and were updated for the Motor Car Act of 1903. This lovely example is one made for the North Eastern Railway
