Talk:Pillar of Salt (road sign)

Clarification needed
I do not understand what you mean by "internally illuminated street". Did you perhaps mean "internally illuminated street sign"?Saint Midge 21:14, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Derivation of name
While in Bury St Edmunds recently I asked three different locals about this sign. None had heard the name "Pillar of Salt"! But one, the helpful guide at the Cathedral, popped up the road and asked the expert at the tourist office, who said that when the concrete pillar was first built it developed salt-like crystals (I forget the scientific term), and that's where the name came from. I can't find anything about this by Googling, but has anyone got a WP:RS, perhaps a guidebook to Bury, with which we could add this explanation? I'll ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject East Anglia too. Pam D  21:34, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
