The Pillar of Salt Road sign
Pillar of Salt is the name of a Grade II listed road sign on Angel Hill Bury St Edmunds in the United Kingdom. Listed in 1998, it is described in its listing as being "individual and probably unique".[1] According to the plaque set at the foot of the sign, it is thought to be the first internally illuminated road sign in the country.[2] Designed by Basil Oliver, architect to Bury St. Edmunds Town Council in 1935, it had to be granted special permission because the height of the letters and numbers did not conform to regulations.
