Street Sign on Earlswood Road on corner with Belmont Road, Belfast

Tiled street sign supported on cast iron post located in Earlswood Road at the junction with Belmont Road. The tiled sign comprises individual 5 inch tall glazed tiles each with a white letter on a black background, spelling EARLSWOOD ROAD - set on a cast iron back plate. Blank tiles are used to fill the extra space on the lower row and moulded black tiles form the sign’s perimeter which is restrained with a wrought iron strap. The sign is 14 inches high, and the width of each sign is determined by the number of letters in the street name depicted. The back plate is bolted to the post in 4 places at the rear of the sign. Overall the sign is 62 inches high and the fluted circular post tapers from 3 inches wide at the top to 3.25 at the octagonal base with a projecting ring top and bottom. Unfortunately the base has been partially buried within the footpath. A ball finial projects above the tiled sign.
