I shared some of these shots with another signwriter friend of mine and his reply really captured my own thoughts. What a time to be signwriter! Be sure to click on the full size view as the details of these pictures are incredible. http://www.shorpy.com/node/7136 http://www.shorpy.com/node/7039 htt...

Love to know if this is still going to go ahead as I have a sister in Belfast which makes accommodation no problem.
