State Sponsored Vandalism in Polebarn Road

Modern bolts have been used to ensure this street sign stays anchored to the wall. Of course this kind of unsympathetic maintenance can be undone and something more in keeping provided, but it may take many years for that to be realised. We are living through an age of indifference to our surroundings as we retreat increasingly behind tech screens. The squalor in this town is an eyesore.

Polebarn Road derives its name from the local pronunciation of 'Paul'. The road once led to Paul's barn.
