Landmark were delighted to be awarded the tender for replacing the town centre fingerpost signage in King’s Lynn. This beautiful town has no less than 481 listed buildings, many of them medieval, and clearly it would take something special to capture its heritage and atmosphere. A particular aim of the new signage was to promote active travel modes and enhance the tourist experience of the town.
Our team selected the Bristol fingerpost sign for its versatility and durability. The colour scheme and fonts are designed to be timeless and easy to read, yet with the gold chevron ends providing an understated heritage accent. Multiple levels and infinite angles are a useful feature of this range, enabling it to be easily updated and extended over time.
The installation involved replacing old signage with new, but in areas where there was no existing signage a full CAT scan survey was completed to ensure safety. The finished result looks stunning and is a worthy counterpart to this very interesting town.

On the edge of Epping Forest down a quiet lane is Suntrap Forest Centre, a place with an extraordinary history. Built in 1894 on the site of a former lunatic asylum it was originally a convalescent home for children. During WWII it became a maternity hospital, then flats during the 50’s, but in 1966 the Borough was offered Suntrap as a gift to enable local schools to organise field trips.
When King Richard 1 passed through Melton Mowbray in 1194 history doesn’t record whether he had any difficulties finding his way around. The fact that 11 of the 14 Plantagenet kings also visited the town suggest that the visit must have been a success.
What a remarkable place this is! One of the main entrances is unobtrusively set between houses and a council waste site but a short walk brings you out on a beautiful south west facing chalk bank with long ranging views across the valley.
Your project is our project, the Landmark team is waiting to hear from you…
