Title: Sign of the Times
Post by: Pete on April 26, 2012, 06:57:21 PM

Used to be Eric's corner shop and post office when moved in around the corner. Now it's ready for the "Years of Austerity"...

PS Note the bl**dy roadworks - They've been around for quite some time now...  >:(

Nice one Pete, the lads were up the ladders when I drove past today,

Only joking it was in 1939 :)

I do have quite a lot of pics. This is just a print from the Derbyshire Times hence the poor quality. I did like it though as it has loads of enamel signs and I think it was a post office as well. Once I figure out how to upload photos so they display well (like you guys do) then I may put on some more. Do you want me to move it to Old Chesterfield? ( i don't know how) :)

Don't bother about moving it.
That's my job and I don't know if I can LOL

Just repost it. If you wish too. And any others you have.
I'll resize/edit them if need be.
The one you posted was fine on my computer.
Anybody having probs viewing Poppy's photo ?
