I didn't know about manicules and don't think I've ever seen one so I'll be keeping my eyes peeled now, but what I really like is a milestone, I think they are fascinating.

I wanted a manicule in my garden when I first started planning it to point out all the different area's anyone would think it was huge haha have a great weekend. :)lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139295265567390855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881535872477294850.post-40098551487876689552016-04-01T16:45:55.496+01:002016-04-01T16:45:55.496+01:00Super!

My grandad always called those type of signs 'finger posts'. We do have an old milestone just down the road from where I live, you hardly ever see them these days but I remember quite a few of them around when I was young (sorry, that makes me sound so ancient)! xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00075528029826860495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881535872477294850.post-73384186378110903132016-04-01T13:45:34.570+01:002016-04-01T13:45:34.570+01:00A fascinating post.

We used to live not far from Donington in South Lincolnshire and I aways remember a couple coming into our Museum and tourist Centre having booked into a B&B over the river and asking where the race track was. We had to tell them they were at the wrong Donington and had a few more miles to travel to get to their destination:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881535872477294850.post-5298171949873886372016-04-01T10:30:17.353+01:002016-04-01T10:30:17.353+01:00What lovely old signs.

I remember once an unhelpful vandal had turned the sign round and I went off in totally the wrong direction. Hey Ho!
