Historical information

This sign was used at the front of Kelmscott Primary School from c2004 to . The school is located on the corner of River Road and Orlando Street. The sign was collected by Ian Newman who was visiting A-Z Signs, located in the Kelmscott industrial area, to source some scrap sheet metal. A-Z Signs had recently replaced this sign with a new sign that the school had commissioned them to make. Ian asked if he could have the sign as he thought it was of local interest.
