In Newcastle some Neighbourhoods are known to vote in Builders/ Cargo containers. Not very pleasent for the person sitting in there all day, but walking close in the constituency.

No problem with Church building voting here either, it is a community building I say, and influencing is legally outlawed, Is it not?, but signposting such a fundamental...

Having said that, my local voting place, in a school also only had one sign directly in front of the door, that however was thirty meters down a path, luckily it was daylight and I had checked out the rough location before hand anyway, otherwise, I probably would not have been able to find it easily either...

I couldn't find my polling station earlier this year and it is only 10 minutes walk from me.  It is situated on a square and I didn't know which bit, walked around it twice but still managed to miss the building because it wasn't signposted.

that was exactly this situation, too!  and the signposting was what really got to me, especially in a place with multiple buildings and where the viewable address was on the wrong one.  It's almost like they don't WANT you to vote when they do that...
