How does this letter-form communicate its location?

An old piece of architectural lettering, carved in stone above the entrance, combines the old traditional crafts and authoritarian, right wing political side of Brixham. It has an old-school Victorian grandeur to it, reminiscent of the old "English Riviera" description of the area, and along with the architecture, evokes this old seaside tourist destination feel in the town. The Roman capitals make this inscription look and feel classical, timeless and elegant. It fits with the heritage and historical side of the town, maintaining and keeping a part of our history alive.
