Strange Road Signs

Where the last 'Homely House' is??

There's another house with this name, in the 'WF' postcode areas
The other is (I think it may have had the sign taken down now?) on Barnsdale Road, near Allerton Bywater

The other Rivendell had the classic 'Smaug' illustration, on the name-sign

A green sign, with Smaug, in red

A couple from cycle rides I've done over the years.

Quite possibly posted or seen (not by me tho') before:

And the one just further along the road:

Located exiting Brighton (Ontario).

One of the locals in Woolpit appears to have got fed up waiting for the council to replace a road sign

10/10 for initiative, 9/10 for caligraphy but is the distance to Timbuktu the cycle way or the camel route?

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Not as unusual, but cycling related
(off A628 Doncaster Road, at Belle Vue)

One of the local Clubs is Calder Clarion, with a rather renown rider; http://www.calderclarion.co.uk/history/

Not a road sign but something that amused me:

I was just planning a ride which comes back that way! A typically hilly route out from Todmorden via Trawden, Haworth, Oxenhope, Denholme, Queensbury, Claremount and Southowram, then an easy ride home on the canal towpaths.

I want to check out the recent improvements to the canal towpath between Salterhebble and Hebden Bridge. They are currently working on the section between Hebden Bridge and Todmorden so I will drop back onto the A646 for part of that leg.

I know the path towards Brighouse is excellent. It is also good from Littleborough into Rochdale and beyond. Hopefully, the towpath between Todmorden and Littleborough will be improved soon because it is a bit rough for a road bike.

Found this one last week whilst cycling through Holland. Can't wait to meet him.

He's cock-a-hoop about it.

I passed this one last weekend between Bolton and Blackburn. Was in the car so didn't get a photo hence the pinched from Gmaps picture. Wonder what its testing?

 

[Floating Bombus]

It's a test. If you'd signed it, you'd have passed. But you passed the sign and didn't sign the sign, so you've failed the test.

Maybe.
