Cast iron sign, London & North Western and Lancashire & Yorkshire Railways

Cast iron sign, square, London & North Western and Lancashire & Yorkshire Railways, reading "L. & N. W. and L. &. Y. Railways. Any person found tampering with these bells will be prosecuted. By Order", white letters on black background.

The railways were bound by rules and these helped keep workers and passengers safe. Signs declared what was allowed, and what would happen if rules were broken. Some of the warning notices are very long and required a good level of literacy to read and apply.
