The Bembridge village sign shows the Bembridge Windmill. This was built in 1700 of local stone. It has much of its original equipment inside, it is National Trust and is open to visitors. The lifeboat is stationed at Bembridge in a new lifeboat station, and also in the background is the Yarborough monument on Culver Cliff. Yachts and lobster pots for the harbour experiences, but no indication of the fascinating house boats near this sign, nor of Bembridge Airport.
About Village Sign Caches
|
 ⠀ |
This cache belongs to the Village Sign Series, a series of caches based on ornate signs that depict the heritage, history and culture of the villages that put them up (generally on the village green!).
The signs can be made of different materials from fibreglass to wood, from forged steel to stone. They can depict anything from local industry to historical events. The tradition probably started in Norfolk or Suffolk and has now spread across most of the country so we thought we would base a series on them!

More information, bookmarks and statistics can be found at the Village Signs Website
If anybody would like to expand the Village Sign Series, please do.
I would ask that you request a number for your cache first at www.villagesignseries.co.uk
so we can keep track of the Village Sign numbers and names to avoid duplication.
