When a building was recently demolished at the Union Road shops in Surrey Hills, what was revealed to the world was such a pleasant surprise it was worthy of recording. This is what inspired me to start this blog.
These pictures are from the two exposed walls on either side of the demolished building. These types of hand painted signs and posters were common place during this time. Luckily for us, these particular signs were somewhat protected from UV light and the elements as the building in between was built very close to, but not attached to the neighbouring buildings.
The colours, composition, fonts, and general aesthetics of the painted signs were what caught my eye. They hark back to an almost forgotten time.
