Sign of the Times
« 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...  >:(
I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

Nice one Pete, the lads were up the ladders when I drove past today,
just about to put the sign up.

I'll give them a month or two  ;)

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 ?
