Fire Hydrant Sign Is that an old-style fire hydrant sign on the nearest gable end? The modern versions of these signs in the UK are yellow with a black 'H' containing two numbers: - The top number indicates the diameter of the water pipe. - The lower number indicates the distance of the fire hydrant in meters. The old-style signs were purple and white. Acknowledgement for the details above: Yahoo Answers web site

Acknowledgement: Archie Foley, Joppa, Edinburgh: January 14, 2010 This is one of a series of photos posted onto boards in an old album that Archie Foley acquired a few years ago. Archie believes that these are likely to be official photos that probably once belonged to Leith City Council. |
