A sign for Plymouth Marina has been erected … in Falmouth.

It’s 70 miles away from the right spot. The fact it also points to the Greenbank Hotel suggests that it was tailor-made for Falmouth.

It's been put up next to the Sainsbury’s roundabout, at the entrance to the town.

The sign has been removed.

A spokesperson for Cornwall Council said: “While Plymouth Marina is worthy of a tourist sign in the right location, this particular sign was not made to our specification. It will be replaced and the cost met by the manufacturer.”
