Footpath signs near Chestnut Street

Some of these looked new and some of the old stone signs were here too. The walk we followed around the Chestnut Street and Borden area referred to stone footpath signs, most of which had gone so perhaps this is where they ended up. Strangely enough the only stone sign we saw was only about 20 yards away at the entrance to Chestnut Wood - see Link
