hi all.I was wondering how many of the old blue street signs are left around leeds the ones with white writing. I only ever saw one until yesterday then i saw another 2 albeit on on each side of the same building (but different adresses) I would love to know if there are anymore around leeds. Oh yeah the ones i know about are highbury terrace and highbury .... something cant remember and westbourne ....?? its off rowland road though ill post the links on street view when i ca access it. thanks polo

These blue signs are probably Vitreous Enamel, glass powder fused on to the metal backing.All done at red heat.

There is one of them old signs, I think its a cast iron one, that has a pointing hand on Oakfield Terrace just off Broadgate Lane in Horsforth. The sign says 'Back Road'. I wonder how many of these still remain?

Just noticed this one on Google Street View while looking for something else - Hyde Park Villas (which is on Back Midland Road):http://goo.gl/maps/wmhHhThe only map I could find that referred to the building as Hyde Park Villas was dated 1890. Does anyone know how old these blue signs are?
