Aberdeen to Zennor.

And everywhere in between

A town, the county you grew up in, or the country you moved from. The board is a notice board first — the lettering sits in the upper half so the rest of the face stays clear for magnets, photographs and the school letter.

Live preview

Type your town and watch it set in the board’s own lettering. Everything you choose — the format, the size, the colour, the caps — shows on the real product photography as you go.

Set in the board’s own lettering as you type. A long name breaks across two lines on its own, or use the second box below to choose where it breaks.
For a two-word place that reads better split — Newcastle upon Tyne, Berwick upon Tweed — or a county under a town. Leave it empty for a single line.
Portrait or landscapeFormat
Portrait is the classic format. Landscape suits the wall above a worktop or a run of units.

Made to order. We email a proof of your board before anything is printed.

The same render as Create Your Own: your lettering sits under the white base product plate on multiply, so the gloss, the shading and the edge roll come from the photographed board rather than from an effect. The caps sit above it and keep their own colour. Switch to On the wall to see it at true scale in a room.

Street jewellery

The board has a hundred and forty years of ancestors.

Benjamin Baugh patented the enamel sign in Britain in 1859 and opened the first factory for them at Selly Oak in 1889. By 1900 every shopping street in the country carried them. By the 1970s virtually all had been scrapped.

Sheet steel, a gloss vitreous finish and a name set large in a plain sans serif. That is the object this board descends from.

Everyone is from somewhere.

Which is what makes this one of the easier presents to get right — for a new house, a homesick student, or someone who never stopped talking about where they grew up.
