Railway Signs Used As Floorboards

“Ian and Lynda Spires uncovered the “treasure trove” after noticing the names of towns and cities underneath their feet as they emptied the attic to begin insulating the roof space. After scraping away the dust, they found the floorboards were actually 49 railway destination boards, used in the days of steam to show where a train was heading. He is thought to have taken the sturdy, inch thick boards when they were scrapped at the end of the 1960s and used them to line his loft. Until now, though, all the subsequent owners have been unaware of the fortune literally hidden away right above their heads.” LINK
