    The R was annoying me, as I was sure I'd seen it. I googled for a picture of where I thought it was, and I'm correct, but I won't post it yet, as I'm sure a lot of posters on here will have seen it without realising.

    Could the V be the smaller sign near Festival House?

    You have, but I doubt that narrows it down. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    I thought it was an A next to it, and thought of Festival House and expected to see it on the large sign. I'm not convinced the smaller sign I've posted is the right age/texture.

    And Dave Mays ran it for a while…but that doesn’t narrow it down much either!!!
