The panels feature bold raised lettering and numerals, with the left panel reading "LON/154/BAW/1" and the right panel reading "YORK/44/DON/6". The maker's name and date are inscribed in smaller lettering at the bottom of each panel. It is marked on the Ordnance Survey map as being on the Great North Road.
