Context

Petersham Common Conservators commissioned Fitzpatrick Woolmer to produce a suit of signage to welcome visitors to the Common and to aid orientation.

Petersham Common, an important wildlife corridor linking Richmond Park with the River Thames, is owned by Richmond Council and managed by the Petersham Common Conservators.

Work undertaken

Signage includes a detailed map of the site with 'You Are Here' markers for each board location.

The map was presented at key locations throughout the Common in wheelchair-accessible interpretive lecterns from Fitzpatrick Woolmer's oak Musketeer™ range.

Graphics include polite prohibition symbols to control visitor behaviour and to provide a brief history of the Common.

Full colour n-viro™ prints were used throughout the scheme. With a 10-year guarantee against fading and finished in a hardwearing anti-graffiti coating, the panels are perfect for outdoor interpretation and orientation panels.

Additional features included oak noticeboards from the Bowman™ range, allowing posters to be displayed and changed when required.

All signs were installed with metal ground shoes, reducing contact with the ground and increasing life expectancy.

Badging signs from the Woodsman™ range completed the signage suite, featuring permanently engraved lettering and welcoming visitors to the Common.
