Ruddington Parish Council (RPC) funded and commissioned the signposts to be created by Ruddington-based graphic design agency WigWag. They were then produced by specialist firm Signs of the Times in Leighton Buzzard and put into place today by RM Installations.
They brand Ruddington as “The Museums Village” but haven’t replaced the existing signs, which are owned by Nottinghamshire County Council. Instead RPC says they “play a different role by celebrating our culture and heritage”.
The bold, watercolour artwork features the Framework Knitters’ Museum and Village Museum buildings, along with a GCRN steam train. The five signs can be found at the entrances to the village at Wilford Road, Clifton Road, Flawforth Lane and both ends of Loughborough Road. Can YOU spot which sign is which?
Our thanks to WigWag for the new photographs.
