This sign consists of a wood plaque framed by a decorative metal
frame. It has obviously been made some time ago, therefore both the
wood and metal clearly display the effects of weathering.
The lettering is rather faded but has probably been retouched over
the years otherwise it would be unreadable. Even so, it doesn’t
stand out particularly well against the background. The font used is
a form of Engravers’ Old English, this adds weight to the rumour
that a member of the Addams Family lived at this address when the
sign was first put in place.
The design is of its era; it nicely balanced and its exposure to the
elements has given it a rather pleasant uniform patina. This sign
should be kept but strictly as a backup to a newer sign which would
be easier to read by humans rather than by passing bats.
