Here's something a bit different - a shop sign on Parramatta Road at Stanmore...............

I miss my old sign .....

Thanks FranFran

That sign had been there since 1990 and now is in our shed. Here is the new one ...

I would always look out for that sign when we were driving down parra rd
as a kid

How old does that make me Matto

If my memory is still workin! There were a Number of Guitar shops just along that section.
We used to call into Callons, Gallons or Challions can't remember the name, then there was the Bass player and I think the Sydney Guitar shop. Which used to be down on the same side opposite to Maccas, where the the White building is now.
But the Shop that definitely stood out was the FB/EK Van Sign Shop. His Company vehicle was awesome as well.

Good on Ya Jacko, for adding a touch of class to an otherwise dull stretch of road..

Regards John

Ps: There was also a Blues shop across the road nearby, that sold all olle blues records and gear, is that still there or has it closed down........

50

and on top of the fact it's an EK (jacko's secret passion ) fuel cap on wrong side it's also left hand drive

I hadn't noticed that the sign had changed, as I haven't been walking down that way for some time (you don't notice these things when you're driving). Maybe I took the photo longer ago than I thought. When did you change it?

I think I got it wrong when I said Stanmore too, rather than Annandale - that must be the other side of the Parramatta Road..............
