The Old House Decorator
House renovation in St. Martins, Worcester, I really hope they don't get rid of the old business sign, that would be too tragic for words....

Nice shot, Kev. It has a 19th century kind of vibe. I agree completely about the old sign.

Well spotted Kev

can't tell if the photo was taken last week or last century. love the b&w tones for that. england really has some great character in it's architecture, nicely captured.

Thanks Each, there certainly is a wealth of old places that are similar to this one in Worcester and around; we do tend to overlook them though unless there is something happening with them, it would be nice to photog these old business signs but without some form of correlation with another subject in frame they become just photogs of decaying old signs which lack meaning, that's why for me this sign just had some sense of relationship with what a previous owner/occupier did and what was happening to the house now..
