How many of you have noticed the road sign which stands outside the derelict Commercial Hotel, by the traffic lights at Church? It is an historic road sign, going back to the 1930's and indicates the A679, Blackburn - 4miles and in the other direction,Accrington, - 1mile.

Look closely and you will see there is an arm missing, the one that pointed south, to Ossy,with a distance of 1/2 a mile. Whatever happened to it? Why was it chopped off? When did it go missing? Where is it now? Is there a reward for it's return? Who can answer this important question?
