The signs for our local park were looking a little past their best with the Clay Hill one overgrown by pyracantha and an adjacent hedgerow.
So some TMAEG volunteers decided to brave the hot weather and perform a bit of a makeover. Armed with tools, ladders and passion they set to work with some stain provided by MK Council.
Whilst some jumped on ladders to attend to the structure, others tackled that faded ‘local park’ lettering. Step forward Margaret and Roger. Our thanks to Roger for a lot of sanding down and of course to Margaret who has lovingly repainted the lettering in its original colors. She is on the left in the photo below.
Complete with its new lettering two volunteers make the final adjustments to one of the two signs.
That is the High Street sign finished and now the Clay Hill sign.
Well done to the team for their splendid work. Doesn’t it look great?
Seen from the northwest the sign is particularly striking – for years this face has been largely hidden from public view.
But what inspired this design for the signs when Two Mile Ash was first constructed all those years ago? They look in structure and colour to be vaguely oriental. What do you think?
