Saw this sign today just round the corner from Carder Way Brierley Hill...... ;D surprised it's still standing. Excuse the dodgy photo, ::)

Yes, well worth 'preserving' (like a Banksy!) - how big is it Keith?

Probably about 3 ft by 2, other side of a large fence, did wonder about grabbing my hand saw and popping back when it was quiet :o ;D ;D The old works have  been converted into flats so the land probably belongs to the building company. Honeyborne house is still there and looks occupied.

Oh, I thought it was one of those tin-plate ones. Never mind, it's still worth preserving.

You can always explain that you rescued it so it can go into the new museum (as and) when it happens... But meanwhile it needs a place to stay!  :)
