Stuarts Your Do it Yourself Flooring Centre, 35 Victoria Road, Surbiton, Surrey, 2006 • I was driving through snoring Surbiton late at night and just had to pull over to snap this ghost sign. There’s an excellent piece about it on the Painted Signs and Mosaics blog and it’s still there on Google Street View (what a piece of magic that is).

Beautiful. There is something magical about something crafted like this, with real skill, in a state of decay that makes you long for times past. That’s the issue I have with so many signs today, they were never crafted or made with love and just look grotty.
