House Sign for a House Name
Why do we give are homes names? This is probably not something you have thought about but it is quite intriguing isn’t it?
Many years ago rich people began naming their home’s, they used their ancestry, location and family titles to name their lodges, halls, castles and manors. Gradually people over the years began to give names to their homes too. As rules governing house signs
house signs have become more relaxed house signs have become more popular. Normally throughout the UK houses can be named without notifying the local authority providing the house number is used in the address line.
Street Numbering
The Street Numbering act was passed by parliament in 1765. Every house is numbered in city or town followed by the name of the road it is in. The numbering begins with the first house in the road being number one and the last house being the number of houses there are in the street.
