I think despite my love of the sign in Tanza Road (http://474towin.blogspot.com/2008/03/types-of-street-name-plates.html and http://474towin.blogspot.com/2009/10/its-all-in-name.html), the affection I hold for the streets I have lived in locally (Quex Road, Sumatra Road and Christchurch Hill)...
This is definately the front-runner in the competition for the best street sign in the constituency...
It's all in the name.
But sadly the close reading of the explainatory plaque says the name is infact from the Goulding family rather than a level of wealth acquisition.
But not bad for a period dates from the 17th century...(Anyone wanting the full story should clcik on the picture on the left and it should open in a large high quality format to make the reading easier...)
Regular (obsessive) readers will know that Mount Square was previously known as the Golden Square.
