Two Monday Murals for you this week. Above, seven miles out from Manchester and into Stockport, the old painted wall signage of Emerson remains although the tailor's shop is now a cafe. The sign was there in photos taken in 1905 so probably dates from the late 19th century.
While on this virtual stop of Stockport look up local bloggers Sue at the Sign Siren and Gerald at the Stockport Daily Photo. Apologies for stepping on their toes or rather, their territory, today.
Meanwhile in the twin city of St Petersburg the other week I took a photo of this (presumably) 1950s map at Finland station of the local network makes a fine mural.
I just love old signage, it's so very atmospheric ☺

ReplyDeleteah yes I know that sign - think I've featured it previously - I noticed a few new ones in Manchester last week - actually walked round the back streets from Piccadilly Station around Dale Street and into Stephenson Square round by the Police Museum (lovely door-knockers) and into Church Street before catching a tram from Market Street back into Piccadilly - didn't notice any demos - lots of people around and I thought it was because of new students arriving - hadn't realised about the party conference!
