New visitor signs are springing up around town thanks to The Kendal Signage Project which has seen Cumbria County Council, South Lakeland District Council, Kendal Town Council and others join forces. In total 17 new signs are going up across the town. This process started in September 2009 with a sign in Wainwright’s Yard and will continue until the Spring of 2010. As well as depicting historical information, the signs feature maps of Kendal that are designed to improve transport links by highlighting the likes of the town’s business station and Oxenholme railway station.
