This photo was taken before the erection of the signpost nicknamed the ‘Pillar of Salt’ which stands on Angel Hill, roughly in the bottom L-hand corner of this picture. The Grade II listed road sign [pictured] was designed by Basil Oliver, architect to St Edmundsbury Borough Council, and erected in 1935. It is considered to be the first internally illuminated traffic sign in the UK. It was granted special approval because it did not conform to regulations.
