We have a cast resin thingy on the gatepost with a raised number under a garland of flowers.
Sort of thing they rip you off for in garden centres. The numbers were gold but they faded and I did a really professional job on them with Tippex.
The corporation built huge numbers of houses in the thirties and fitted slightly raised, screww on numbers to the front doors.
Over the years the paint built up and latterly the doors were painted grey with the numbers just being painted over.
Nightmare to pick out at night when on a late call-out !
