It's impossible to get a straight-on shot of this sign so I have transformed it using Photoshop to make it more legible |
The subsequent black lettering for HINTON is now fading fast. It is more descriptive of the products available (/ = line break and [xxx] indicates where I cannot decipher some words):
PURVEYORS / OF / SCOTCH BRITSH BEEF / GRASS FED [xxx] / DAIRY FED [xxx] / VARIETY OF COOKED MEATS / Families [xxx] / or [xxx].
Hints of a later third sign are also evident though no discernible letterforms remain.
I'd love to see pics of how this sign would have looked in the past. If anyone has any archive images of this location, please do contact me via email or add links in the comments section below.
