....we found this old hotel in Ellinwood, Kansas; last year we were birding Cheyenne Bottoms and Quivira NWR...delightful place to stay; even has an underground bar. Best viewed magnified. pp: photomatix, topaz studio
Fabulous to see an old corner shop sign in this good condition, which is now a barbers shop.
I wish I could step back in time to see the shop in it's grand splendour. Corner of Herbert road & Eglington road, Plumstead, South East London.

This photo is taken on the Marine Creek Bridge in the Fort Worth Stockyards. It doesn’t look like a bridge because buildings were built on the bridge on both sides of the street. One of these buildings is visible on the extreme left side of the photo. The building on the right is not visible in this photograph. Marking the West side of the Bridge is a sign built across the street welcoming visitors to the Stockyards. Both he sign and the Bridge were constructed in 1910, The sign features two round concrete columns with ball finials that support the "Fort Worth Stock Yards” metal sign. Exchange Avenue, which is paved in bricks, crosses the bridge.
Beyond the sign on the right side of the photo is the Stockyards Hotel. In 1904, Colonel Thomas M. Thannisch, built a wood frame two story hotel on this site called the Stock Yards Club. In 1906-07, he hired contractor C.E. Brown to build a three story brick addition to the hotel on the east side. The architect for the addition is not known. Six years later, Thannisch hired architects E. Stanley Field and Wiley G. Clarkson to design another addition to the hotel that was built on the site of the original building. The three story addition matched the brick building in appearance. Once completed, the brick hotel structure contained 86 rooms and several ground floor retail spaces. Over the years, the hotel has operated under several names, and up until 1949, was called the Stock Yards Hotel. The building features interesting brick patterns with a stepped parapet and cast stone trim. The name of the building in the cornice is inscribed with "Thannisch Bldg." In 1984, the hotel was restored and renamed back to the Stock Yards Hotel. It now has 52 rooms and suites and has a very good restaurant on the ground floor.
On the left side of the photo are store fronts that date from 1910 to 1934. The storefronts have held many types of businesses including restaurants and saloons.

"There are no coincidences.
A toad, ancient guardian of the earth, stops beside a word carved into the cement: YOUR.
It is a calling, a sign, perhaps a message from the unseen.
It speaks not only of him, but of you — of what belongs to you, of what surrounds you.
It is your shadow, your conscience, your hidden self emerging from the darkness and looking back at you.
YOUR. A silent dialogue between nature and destiny."
A Route 66 store sign in San Francisco, California. The famous route goes nowhere near the area, but there is a clothing brand and stores using the name.
We had a refreshing break in Northumberland last week. On our journey to Berwick-Upon-Tweed we stopped for a wonderful meal at the 'Anglers Arms' at Weldon Bridge, Longframlington.
Here is one of the old signs displayed at the Pub.
(For those in the know, do you think it would go down well at the KH?)
