Nearby village has a very distinctive, remote, church, now redundant.

I see where you could get that idea Martin, there are two similar structures in Newington. This, however, is rural and on a junction. The give way lines for the road from the left are just to the right of the photo, and a warning chevron pointing to the right for traffic from behind the camera, which has priority over that running straight ahead. This then leads into another junction which is blind. I nearly collected some cyclists there a while ago as they had underestimated the severity of the blind bend leading out of the junction and were coming at me on my side of the road. Brakes are good on the Yeti

Elf and Safety hadn’t been invented otherwise putting this on one side of a double blind junction would raise concerns with modern traffic volumes and speed.

Come west ish JW

I spotted this on my travels yesterday, so I've popped along via GSV to bring you this...

Suitably rural looking, possibly even has a bus pass by occasionally!
