Felixstowe Ferry village sign
Felixstowe Ferry is not a village in the strictest sense of the word but a hamlet of Felixstowe which once had its own church until the Germans bombed it in WW2. A green was established in 2001 and is administered by the Felixstowe Ferry Millennium Green Trust to prevent further development so the land can be used for the benefit of the community.
The sign features, in silhouette, one of the two Martello Towers, a fishing boat and a yacht on the choppy waters of the Deben estuary.

Village Signs of East Anglia

Village signs are typically placed along the principal road or in a prominent location such as a village green or close by the church. The design often depicts a particularly feature of the village or a scene from its history, heritage, or culture. They are typically made of wood or metal or a combination of both, the designs are often made by the local community.
Although they do appear in villages and towns all over the country they are more prominent in East Anglia than elsewhere in the country.
