Trowbridge
There is a station sign under the bridge at Trowbridge Railway Station in Wiltshire. It is black and white and dates from the early 1970s. It is the only one of its type on the station and is mostly ignored which is a pity as it has a secondary activity as an encyclopaedia. I have learned a lot from it.
