A highly collectible enamel bus stop sign for Maidstone Corporation.
This original transport sign displays the authentic wear and patina from genuine street signs of the period.
The design features a white enamel with bold red lettering making it eye-catching for maximum visibility. At the top sits the Maidstone borough coat of arms.
The sign reads “CORPORATION BUS STOP REQUEST,” clearly showing its function within the town’s transport system. It also includes directional instruction text “Q’ THIS SIDE,” guiding passengers to queue correctly.
Originally mounted at roadside bus stops with the fitted bracket flange, this double-sided sign would have been visible from both directions, serving as an essential piece of public transport.
A superb piece of British transport history, ideal for collectors of enamel signs, transport memorabilia or antique advertising. A great decor piece for any garage / man cave or as part of a growing or established collection of advertising pieces.
