    I went to Hampton court palace the other weekend with my other half, ovely day.

    I saw a few signs that looked like this, I have seen lots of these signs but usually they just have M.O.W and A.R.P on them

    now i know M.O.W is Ministry of Works and A.R.P is Air Raid Precautions but what is H.M.O.W?

    I have googled and cant find out, I presume H......... Ministry of Works
