AT THE A39 Wadebridge and Bodmin junction at Valley Truckle just outside Camelford there stood an old granite three sided post for well over 100 years. It was covered in lichen, had rust stains from the metal arms on top and nobody could remember what it was doing there, writes John Pearce of Camelford.

After several years of wondering about it, I had a close look and noticed faint engravings in the granite in small letters — Wadebridge, Bodmin and Camelford — on each side that faced the appropriate town.

It turns out that this is an important and historically interesting way sign that marks one end of the newly designated Judges' Road.
