Old Pigs

I don't think they used to sell old pigs...

This market ran from 1614 to 1882, I have no idea where they sold their pigs after that date, I have never seen pigs being sold at the cattle market although you do see sheep there!

Hammet Street Sign

I found this sign up a tiny little alleyway off Hammet Street in the town centre.

It was one of three identical signs on one wall, quite why someone was so dead against placing goods or cycles against the wall was not clear!

Sustrans - National Cycle Network

Surely they can't both be the way to 3?
Where is 3?
What happened to 2? and 1?

These are signs for a route on the National Cycle Network a massive collection of safe cycle paths mapped and maintained by Sustrans - the sustainable transport charity.

Sustrans was started in Bristol in the 1970's with the aim of making a network of 2000 miles of cycle paths by the year 2000, in 2005 it had already reached the 10000 mile mark, an amazing achievement.

I am a Sustrans Ranger - that means I am responsible for a short section of the network, I have to ride it from time to time to make sure the signage is still clear and nothing it blocking the route. It's been a while since I did it - I don't think I am a very good ranger...

Signs, again!

You have to wonder how they ever get any mail, or perhaps they get too much!?
