ST8522 : Shaftesbury: St. James finger-post

taken 15 years ago, near to Shaftesbury, Dorset, England

Shaftesbury: St. James finger-post
I would have expected the original fingers to have had rounded ends with modern replacements pointed. However, while the right-hand finger has newish-looking lettering, the 'Shaftesbury' on the left does not look all that recent.

Anyway, the interesting feature is the original finial, giving location and six-digit grid reference.
