A blue overhead sign suspended over the motorway from a post on the left, showing an upcoming exit and the following text.
Exit destinations: A45 Daventry [Solid triangle diversion symbol] [Hollow triangle diversion symbol].
Forward destinations: The NORTH, Birmingham; Leicester M1 .
Junction number: 16.
Back before junctions had numbers, the designers of the M1's original section, opened in 1959, gave all its junctions names, and the names give you the distinct impression they were choosing the most pleasingly bucolic name they could find for each one. This one is called Kislingbury.
