Stilton - Village Signs |
| There
are two carved wooden signs on the two roads that lead into the village. |
| | This
sign is located on North Street, opposite the junction with Mill Road, and depicts
a stage coach outside the Bell Inn. It was presented by the WI.
The circular
plaque proclaiming Stilton as 'Original Home of Stilton Cheese' was added by sculptor
Glyn Mould in April 2012 and unveiled by the Stilton School Council and the Parish
Council - pictures
here; 'bring Stilton home' campaign. |
| | This
sign is located on Caldecote Road and depicts a cheese being rolled outside the
Bell Inn, with the Church behind (some artistic licence there!) |
