Sign, Startops End, Marsworth

By the canal at Marsworth there is an old sign that looks as though it's been there for centuries. It hasn't as it mentions the size of 'motors' etc that can go over the canal bridge. It does however have a very worn look and some of the words are illegible. I took some photos of single words as I liked the way they looked, there's something rather satisfying about the shape of the letters and the way they're encrusted with rust.
