A Traditional Streetscape Finish
The Trent is more than a standard traffic sign post. The addition of cast ring detailing creates a higher quality appearance, making it suitable for locations where visual consistency and place identity are important.
This makes the Trent a strong option for:
• Town centres and high streets
• Conservation areas and heritage-led schemes
• Public realm upgrades and regeneration projects
• Civic spaces, visitor destinations and promenades
• Mixed-use developments requiring coordinated signage
Suitable for Wayfinding and Traffic Signage
As a signage post, the Trent can be specified for both pedestrian wayfinding and formal traffic signage. It provides a durable structure for mounting multiple sign types, helping to reduce clutter and create a cleaner street scene.
It is commonly used to support:
• Directional finger signs and pedestrian wayfinding
• Street name plates and location signage
• Standard traffic and regulatory signage
• Site and facility information signs
• Multi-sign installations where several messages are required
Finger Arms (Priced Separately)
Additional finger arms can be supplied to create a more complete wayfinding solution. This allows the Trent to act as a clear, central street sign post within a town centre or public space, reducing the need for multiple individual posts.
Finger arms are typically specified for:
• Town centre wayfinding routes
• Parks and visitor attractions
• Public footpath networks
• Heritage trails and civic signage schemes
Finials (Priced Separately)
Finials can be added to complete the top of the sign post column and reinforce a traditional streetscape aesthetic. This is particularly effective where the Trent is specified alongside other heritage-style street furniture and boundary products.
Highlighting (Gold or White) – POA
Columns can be supplied with optional gold or white highlighting to emphasise the decorative detailing. This is often specified in civic environments to complement existing street furniture palettes and improve visual definition.
Hanging Basket Bracket Option
A hanging basket bracket can be added to introduce seasonal planting and improve the visual appeal of the street scene. The bracket is manufactured from steel and is designed to hold a steel basket suspended on chains.
Bracket configurations available include:
• 2 arm scroll bracket
• 4 arm scroll bracket
Please note: baskets are not supplied.
This option is commonly specified in:
• Town centre improvement schemes
• Business improvement districts (BIDs)
• High streets and shopping areas
• Visitor destinations and seafronts
Built for Long-Term Outdoor Use
Manufactured from mild steel, the Trent is designed for permanent external installation in demanding public environments. Steel remains one of the most widely specified materials for sign posts due to its strength, stability and suitability for multi-sign configurations.
The Trent is suited to projects where the mild steel sign post must withstand:
• Frequent exposure to weather and moisture
• High pedestrian footfall and public contact
• Regular maintenance cycles and sign updates
• Long service life expectations for local authority assets
The Trent signage column is typically specified as a permanent sign post column solution, installed to provide a stable and visually consistent base for signage.
When specifying, it is worth considering:
• The number of signs or finger arms required
• Whether a finial is needed to complete the column
• If highlighting is required to suit the wider street furniture palette
• Whether hanging baskets form part of the public realm strategy
• Coordination with other street furniture elements to maintain consistency
For a unified streetscape, the Trent can be specified alongside other street furniture such as:
• Bollards and boundary products with heritage detailing
• Litter bins and recycling bins in traditional styles
• Benches and seating for town centre schemes
• Cycle parking stands and shelters
• Planters and seasonal planting features
This supports a cohesive public realm design and simplifies long-term asset management.
