You may remember a few years back when Ken Tranter was Mayor, the LRCF recovered the old cast iron mile posts, cleaned them up and replaced them on their original site in London Road. Previously it was Vaughan's, a tailor and hatter. It's now the SPAR shop.
The cast iron has had some rust showing through for the last couple of years. I had been meaning to sort them out but I'm sure if I got down on my hands and knees I'd never get up again! Anyway, the shop has just had a paint up and Steve Sall, often found behind the counter, has spruced them up. Well done Steve.
