Introduction I was brought up — as I’m sure you were — with icons all around me, especially in the home. The stereo and TV had them, the labels in my clothes had them, and so did the machine that washed them. Whenever we travelled in the car, I would record the road signs I saw in my iSpy book, and see what landmarks were near us on an Ordnance Survey map with the aid of the key. The difference between ‘Church with Tower’ and ‘Church with Spire’ is forever etched into my consciousness.
