A conservation group is appealing for help to restore and protect historic road signs called 'fingerposts'.

Dorset Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) said the charity had paid out more than 拢22,000 restoring the signs, the oldest of which are thought to have been installed around the late 19th century.

It said many of the signs had been lost during World War Two after being removed to confuse an invading army.

The charity confirmed that a grant scheme was being offered to people who could restore the fingerposts using the "correct materials".
