Postcard of the Month: October 2022
/Happy 100th Birthday to the A29!
This card shows the signpost at the crossing of village roads with the main north-south route, the A29. The road number, in common with all the other main routes in the country, was only allocated in 1922 by Act of Parliament. The number was clearly added to the signpost arms later than the original destinations, presumably sometime after 1922.
The card was posted in 1933, but would have been photographed before that date. Based on its title and number, the publisher was probably Hamiltons. It was posted in Bury to Miss E.G. Long, 74 Palace Road, London SW.2.
