A sign which may be of interest. I've still got a few more pics to post.
Please click on image to enlarge.
Every day I drive by this downed sign - it has been this way for months. It is not a good area for me to stop my car otherwise I'd upright it. The comical thing is there are numerous individuals who walk by this sign each day with their dogs as well as joggers and skateboarders - I guess it's too heavy for them to pick up. Now if I'd gone over and planted some green beans to climb up the legs it would not only be removed, I would be fined for planting vegetables here. Welcome to the East End of Louisville.
I couldn't help myself. I was sitting in my driveway with camera in hand when I spied this little beauty.
Just living is not enough... one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.

When I first joined Flickr, I posted quite a few shots of ghost signs. I hadn't seen one for a while but spotted the Madame Ratcliffe one in Tyldesley recently.
We were in Shrewsbury last month and as we crossed the English Bridge in a taxi cab, I spotted this one. It appears to be for a motorcycle shop but unusually the original sign appears to have been painted over at some point.
Its not super clear (that is ghost signs for ya!) but I think I can make out

If you can make anything else out please let me know in the comments box.
I can also see the word Velocette. A few weeks ago I saw a really cool old vintage Velocette near a British Red Telephone Box. Unfortunately it wasn't seen here but the sign and the bike would have looked good together.
Lington Cycle Cars were manufactured around 1920 so the original sign must be over 100 years old.
I did a web search and apparently the bottom of Wyle Cop, the Shrewsbury street, was known for its motorcycle shops back in the day. Now it is the place where the longest interrupted row of independent businesses in the United Kingdom is located. Many 16th and 17th Century buildings - including the 'Henry Tudor House' dating from the late 1400s.
I like the windows in the old building (warehouse?) so Happy Window Wednesday!

Probably the most yellow signs I ever did see, there were, I think, two of these, just before Shornemead Fort on the River Thames...below this strange shape was a panel with the wording "Prohibited Mooring" while the next had the legend "Warning Gas Main". I must have been more interested in the shape of the sign's top, which I assume was designed to attract attention. There were similar signs across the river, I think. Not unreasonable to assume there are pipes or cables taking gas or electricity across the river...
The Fuji superzoom, in keeping with Fuji's film traditions, was great at recording yellow.
