The former British Transport Commission (BTC) cast sign looks as

though it has had a recent lick of paint despite the organisation having been abolished eighteen years previously. I suspect that the sign located on a farm occupation bridge near Whiteball is no longer in existence but I am happy to be advised otherwise. The BTC was created by Clement Attlee's post-war Labour government as a key tenet of its nationalisation policy and encompassed many organisations from the railways, the canals, road haulage and the police (by creating the BTP). This huge body was abolished in 1963 when the chair was the infamous Dr. Richard Beeching.
