Old metal signs on Cranmore Railway Station buildings.

Nice and very colourful image Rosa.

Thank you Jaap. Good to see the old signs still on the buildings.

Oh god! I must be getting old! I remember some of these signs in this fine collection.

Yes, I know the feeling Doug! I do love the old advertising signs. Lots of replicas around but good to see the genuine old ones.

I recognise all these signs except for the wheat flakes one. Are they all original, Rosa?

Same here Amelia. I would think they are all original. The one that is mine was one in my father's collection and I always remember seeing it in his shed.

I remember most of them including Force which I have eaten. Zeebrite Grate Polish is a new one for me though :)

That's the one I have not heard of Nick. Not many grates to polish these days, so I wonder if Zeebrite is still around!

The signs of 'those' times Rosa and great to see them.
The 'Field of Dreams' no longer exists as far as I know but very glad that you also went there !!!

I think the people who started The Field of Dreams sold the house and land with it.
Thanks for your comments on the signs :)

Such a bright and colourful collage! Beautifully presented Rosa. I also love these old signs, I can remember them all except "Force". I particularly remember "Brasso" from years spent polishing brass fixtures in the RN until I became senior enough to make someone else do them!

Yes, Force is the one I don't remember Keith. I remember my gran using Brasso and that is still sold...but I guess you'd give that product a miss then! Rank obviously helped ;-))
Thanks for your kind comments on this one.

Superbe collage. Nicole.

Thank you very much Nicole.

Goodness! there are some oldies there, I don't remember the Zebrite or Wheat Flakes but the others look familiar. Sadly Colman's is about to leave it's Norfolk home soon.

Oh yes, I heard about Colman's Maurice. Such a shame. I visited their shop and museum when I was in Norwich. The shop was so beautifully fitted out. I still have the tin of mustard, unopened and that must be about ten years old now!

Hey Rosa, I really like this collage, The "Colman" sign caught my eye, my Dad's family was Coleman's but they put the " e " in it, or is your "colman" pronounced differently.?

best wishes, have a good Thursday with those you love :) Sarah

Oh that's interesting Sarah. I would say it's pronounced the same. The Hilborne family have many relatives in USA and it's spelt many different ways.
Have a great loving day tomorrow Sarah :-) Rosa.

A beautiful collage of adverts, Rosa. All the products are from before my time. LOL. Cheers, Joe

I am pleased you like the collage, young Joe ;-)
Cheers, Rosa.

Wow! love this Rosa, showing my age now, remember all of these ;-))...Hope you are Well...Best regards, Bill.

I remember those early Bisto adverts on TV that used these characters! :))
Always happy with a wow, thank you Bill.

Best wishes, Rosa.

Hi Rosa,

I too recognise this lot. Maybe we are all getting old...
Perhaps there was a 'Robertsons Golden Shred' there too? I know a couple of people who have them at home!
Great collage!

Best Wishes
Peter

Hi Peter,

I don't remember seeing a Golden Shred one at the station, but I know the one you mean. The Bisto sign got the worst of the weather. I would move it if I were them....maybe I'll mention it when I go again :-)
Thanks for your very kind comments.

Best wishes, Rosa.

A colourful collection indeed Rosa and all in rather good condition if originals .. i remember some too from this collection

Best wishes ... Steve

I am pretty sure they are originals Steve. I love seeing them. I'm pleased you like them and thank you for your kind comments.

Best wishes, Rosa.

A wonderful collection Rosalyn the only one I hadn't heard of was Force Wheat Flakes it was made by Nestle until 2013, the Black Lead is made by Stovax, my stove is a Stovax but as I don't use it I won't be polishing it !! The condition of the signs is an indication how well made they were

Same here Peter. That was the most colourful and amusing of them. I have a log burner which I clean up to take it through the summer months, but have never used the Stovax product on it...maybe I should! Many thanks for your interest and kind comments.

Nice interesting photo, Rosa.... Brings back memories of my Grand mother using some of these products.,

Yes, same here John. We have it easy against the work they had to do!

A happy and colorful arrangement, Rosa! I love these old signs.

I do too Diane. The replicas sell very well, which indicates their popularity.

I love them all and you made them into a wonderful collage!

I am pleased you like them Gudrun. I thought a collage would be the best solution :)

Sadly I've owned, used, or known of, all of these!
Enjoyable shot!

Thanks Andy. I am pleased you enjoyed it.

Schitterende collage,Rosa,ik ken His Master,s Voice natuurlijk wel en Brasso.
De geëmailleerde reclame borden zijn zo geliefd, dat er nu replica,s van worden gemaakt.
Hartelijke groeten...........
Frans.

Yes there are a lot of replicas and they are very popular. I am sure all of these are original.
I am pleased you like the collage.
Best wishes, Rosa.
