Trevemper Siding

Stephenie writes :- ​I randomly came across your lovely website and the article on Trevemper from 2014, in which you wondered whether the sign was still in existence. Well I’m pleased to say it most definitely is, and it’s very much loved at my parents house. [Image.jpeg] My Dad went to a railway auction in Plymouth many years ago, it wasn’t what he intended to bid on (the bidding went too high) so this was his consolation ‘prize’. We’re very attached to it, as is the house.
​ I hope this is of mild interest, Stephanie
