Elliott Street Bakery
Elliott Street is one of the modest streets of small
terraced houses which
survive between Handford Road and London Road. The importance of the
neighbourhood
bakery in times past is symbolised by the sign at the corner with
Gibbons
Street.
This remarkable survivor is one of the finest examples
of trade lettering
we have found. Time has caused the layers of paint to weather and the
bold
block capitals in black with a cream coloured drop shadow, plus date
('ELLIOTT
ST. BAKERY, Est. 1907') can now be seen floating on earlier cursive
lettering.
All this on a traditional white painted cartouche.
