Pre-Worboys sign on Newtown Road, Knighton I was heading to Ramsbury for similar signs I knew of there, and saw the back of this heading west and looked to check and found one of the largest panel signs I'd managed to get before they'd gone. It turned out to already be listed in Sabre Roads gallery but had long forgotten about it being there since.

Ramsbury lies in fertile farming land in the valley of the River Kennet. The site has been occupied since at least the Iron Age and there are several Roman villas. There was a bishopric of Ramsbury, established by 909 and ended in 1075 when it was included in the bishopric of Salisbury. Until 1744 when the present A4 road was turnpiked, the road through the village was part of the main route from London to Bristol.
