How does this letter-form communicate its location?

An old weathered stone sign that dates back to 1895 using an old cursive font style. This looks as though it has been hand engraved. There are many other signs along the street with this font style that date back to the early 1900’s. The weathering around the engraving makes the dips look like they are coated in gold, it may have been restored recently to get this effect. I like how this sign adds a bit of history to the local area.
