I desperately wanted to get rid of my hideous old, rotting wooden house sign and finally made the leap of buying a new one when I waited in all day for a courier. I finally called DHL and asked where it was – to be told it was back at the depot as the guy couldn’t find my house. The next day, after putting up a temporary house sign that was visible from the road the DHL guy found my house. So I started to look for a new sign.

I could not believe the choice of house signs available on the net! I bought my wooden sign from the net a few years ago and there wasn’t half the companied selling signs there are now! I finally settled on a company called Rustic Stone as I liked their rustic slate that they use. Anyway, to cut a long story short, my house sign arrived, hand picked random shaped Welsh slate with immaculately engraved text, holes drilled etc. for a reasonable price. Anyway, they were obviously happy with it as it now features on their web site. Take a look at and the other house signs. Mine is the Riverside house plaque featured in the images on the right. I recommend the signs they sell as they are so unusual.
