Thanks Griffo- the sign is still so shiny almost brand new looking. I climbed up a ladder swept away the spiders and layed on my stomach on the rafters just to get a picture. Almost like risking my life for this forum. Hope someone else enjoys seeing it now |

Great colour combinations, love the graphics. Its got a Fairground Art feel to it. Some non-pictorials really are nice.

Well, waiting 12 years before photographing it is not bad...I stored a huge sign for 30 years until I moved, did a kitchen extension, then discovered a space for it. Everyone who visits always comment on it. ( A red and white Cadburys ) |

I remember some shopkeepers not wanting to part with their old signs and cabinets as they were convinced that someone was going to come and collect them one day!!! |
