Someone give me a clue!

When it was still daylight I went out to put some rubbish into my bin, of all the rooms I have in my house my backyard has always been the tidiest one.

Imagine my suprise when as I lifted the wheelie bins lid I also kicked a piece of metal.

Hello I thought, that can't be right I'm no blacksmith, I don't store metal. I threw an inquisitive glance in the general direction where the scraping sound had finished.

An oblong piece of aluminium, (in case our over-seas bretheren are reading, A-L-O-O-O-M-I-N-U-M).

I reached down and grabbed the object and turned it over it had writing on the other side,

I read the words 'Countess St.'

Now I have in my very distant past arrived home with a few traffic cones and also the odd amber flashing light but I thought I had got over that habit some years ago.

o.k. so what is this and where has it come from?

I must confess I've never been tall or ambitious enough to try and get a street sign, so where is it from?
How come it ended up in my back yard?
Most importantly if you are missing a sign saying, 'Countess St.'
would you like it back and is there a reward?
If only there was some sort of clue I would return it to it's rightful owner!

It looks like one that has been high on a wall so could a wind have dislodged it from the wall and it being al u min i um (I can't pronounce that word so have to type it very slowly.) maybe the wind whipped it up into the air and wafted it along to your backyard.

Hey, while we all work out where it's from, take a close look at the picture and name the switches just above the sign. (competition closes as soon as I press the submit button).
