	South of Rosevale, Bridgenorth Rd (C732) meets Roseburn Rd. This photo shows recently-installed fingerboard signs that incorrectly omit a C732 shield for the left-turn (really a through southbound movement) and also omit the 'To NH1' that is present on subsequent fingerboards.

Also, note again that the distance to NH1 actually reflects the distance to B54 - this sign has not been updated to reflect the relocation of Bass Highway between Launceston and Deloraine.

	7km south of Ecclestone Rd, Bridgenorth Rd terminates at the junction with Westwood Rd. Here, C732 turns west towards Hagley and C738 provides a link to the east towards Hadspen. Unfortunately, these two very old fingerboards have the route markers the wrong way around! Source: Peter Renshaw, April 2007.

Note that the 'To NH1' focal point has not been updaed to reflect either the longer distance or the new route marker following the reloction of NH1 many years ago. Source: Peter Renshaw, April 2010.
