WWII Lancashire: Ghost Signs of the Home Front  (20) -
Emergency Rendezvous Point, Rostron Road, Ramsbottom, at junction with Victoria Street

"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.
