Spotted this lovely old sign painted on a wall down an alleyway in Reading. Good to get a shot of it before it disappears completely.

Cool find. They must have been there some time...the old writing underneath the new must be a good few years earlier. You'd have thought the bricklayer who did that patch on the lhs could have got a better brick match than that...they're not even the same size, lol!

WELL SEEN!!! I love the worn appearance, much more interesting than if it had been bright and fresh. Wonderful textures to appreciate. Thought provoking, a time long gone by...

That's a beauty, Keith! There doesn't seem to be much effort to preserve these delightful artifacts...here, at least. I see there is another ghost under the ghost, as I often notice, too. Great shot!

Thanks again Diane...............I always look for this sort of this while I'm out and about, but they're few and far between nowadays. Our history is disappearing ;-(
