May have been posted before but I was taking the photo for another reason and then noticed the "Winged Wheel" sign.
Old New Inn - Bourton on the Water.

The other reason = A work colleague of the daughters says he had his "demob" party here.

not my pic, but I some times ride right past the front door of this on my commute - is 1618 antiquity enough?

Found this in the village of Ploerdut in Britanny, the village is twinned with Stithians in Cornwall very close to where I live

I love this old AA road sign in St Mawes. First noticed it about ten years ago when I was working nearby in the depths of winter. I just love the accuracy down to the quarter of a mile :D
