"Welcome to Mercado 1143 where everything is created, grown, produced and selected in Portugal." (At least I assume that's what it means - Google Translate says "in Portuguese", but that doesn't make sense.) It appears to be the name of a restaurant in Lisbon.

The A1146 is a road with a bit of history. It forms the hypotenuse of a triangle between the A18 in Hatfield and the A614 in Thorne.
