  They are all in a bit of a shabby state but just where you think that you would find a decent one,you see this.
  Does anypne know if there are plans to get them back to their original glory?

  Actually, there's an interesting one on the side of Maison Dieu House Penny.
  

  

  
  
  It clearly states, circa 1910, yet it shows the war memorial unveiled in 1924!
  
  Spooky!

  i think they are in the process of updating them all, have seen some very attractive and informative new ones in market square and pencester gardens.

  If not vandalised, many of these historic signs now have very faded pictures in them.

  Yet another example of what makes people think the town is shabby and uncared for, it is these small things that make all the difference.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
