"ERP 438" looks remarkably fresh, most probably repainted.

Emergency Rendezvous Points (ERP) were designated places in the locality for the coordination of ARP and emergency services during civil emergencies, particularly for those services arriving from outside the area. The signs appear in a variety of designs, but most are diamond shapes framing the ERP locality number.

Irwell Sculpture Trail - The Tilted Vase at Ramsbottom Edward Allington’s giant vase draws its inspiration from the legacy of the Industrial Revolution in the valley. The classical shape of the vase reflects the local architecture, while the manufacture of it is modern, having been built in sections that were bolted together to look like a machine.

Allington, an internationally renowned British Sculptor, was selected from over 30 entrants to design a new artwork for the site of the old market in Ramsbottom, a former textile town.
