Street nameplates

There was a time when almost all street nameplates were of cast metal (if only…!). Since the 1960s, they've been largely supplanted by cheaper and thinner materials but they're staging a revival for two reasons: they last far longer than other materials and they are much more appropriate for conservation areas. Cast plates have also played their part in upgrading neglected neighbourhoods and districts.

We have a massive range of nameplate patterns and typefaces, including a few curious fonts dating back to 1918 and carrying such obscure names as "Nuneaton Times Roman". Nameplates can be supplied complete with posts and/or backboards if required.
