Spotted this as I drove through said gate today.

I drove off quick before I had to pay any penalties

  1. Don’t worry. 40 shillings is £2. I’m sure you have that!

  2. I’m sure they’d accept a £2 coin or 2x £1 👍

  3. Well it’s the workhouse for you then my lad / lassie

  4. That sign is from 1883 – London and North Western Railway. Adjusting for inflation, that’s between £250 and £300 today (retail price index vs average earnings).

    I was expecting it to be higher TBH.

  5. Here’s forty shillings on the drum
    For those who volunteer to come,
    To ‘list and fight the foe today
    Over the Hills and far away
