My partner went for a talk at St Bride Library ( http://www.stbride.org/ ) on ghost signs today, and showed me this sign which I thought was beautiful, and very appropriate for here.

Nice of them to name the new shop below Flowers Nib

I think it's Flowers N16, which would be the postal code for the area.

 

Lovely old sign though, I like seeing these old signs.

I think I missed a joke...oops.

Thanks for sharing Inkysloth . Nice to know that the abbreviation for "fountain" is just "fount".

So nice! strange I've never noticed it when I was living in London. I used to go quite often to that part of town.

It's here (you can click to Streetview and find it with a little patience):
