It's interesting when an old street sign has been retained when a new one with the same name on has been put up.

I see a fair few of these as I drive round London quite a bit, next time I'm passing I'll try and get a few shots. Quaility won't be great though as I'll have to use my trusty N95, just not practical to take a cam to work.

There's a handful in Stockport, including a very nice Standard fireworks one. I'll take the camera next time I'm down there

There's a few I've spotted around the market, but I've never had a camara with me when I've been there.

to quote myself from the thread in the offtopic forum because someone has queried 'why' its own thread

find these absolutely fascinating and wondered if i may use the collection here for a bit on my blog? with credit to whoever took what pics. i wouldnt palm it off as all my own.

does anyone mind? any objections?

now a taekwandoo [sp?] place

wish i got this sooner as gs roofing have now stuck their banner over it

at my local shops, norrys is no more for a good while now

what does it say?

It's quite common so see where there were once those plastic illuminated letters spelling out a company name.

The BBC building in Manchester has the outline of the early 1990s BBC logo semi hidden by the new one.

one from exeter

Hi, i've been on here for a while, but this is my first post.... so HI!

Have done a few explores locally (Ilford Park, Grand Hotel and a derelict house already on here) but have never had the photos with me when i've had the time to upload them, will do soon!

Anyway, here's a ghost ad from the Cowley area of Exeter, near the derelict mansion owned by the university (also documented on here, and on the 'to do list).

Cheers, Rich
