Geocache Description:

 Village signs is a series of caches based on the ornate signs that depict the heritage, history and culture of the villages that put them up (normally on the village green!).


"The rearing of turkeys was a particularly successful form of business in the Attleborough area, with the 1930s being a very busy era for this. Market day, every Thursday, would see thousands being sold. The town sign has a turkey on it, reputed to refer back to earlier times when turkeys were walked to London rather than taken by cart and train; it is said their feet were tarred to assist them in travelling such a long distance."

If anybody would like to expand this series please do. I would just ask that you let Smokeypugs know first so they can keep track of the Village Sign numbers and names to avoid duplication.
