Parmiters World Famous Antiques

Lovely buildings with facades so beautifuly decorated
Superb panorama, Keith

Very colourful streetscape !!

Wow! and all that Jazz

Like this colorful architecture in these different styles very much, Keith ! That’s how imagine streets in American towns !

Keith !.. an intriguing and colourful scene.. - I don't remember much of the town, but a pal and myself visited Southsea.. on motor scooters from Sheffield.. it would be 1962 because we went to see 'Dr.No'...at a cinema.. I'd be 16... we had a weeks' digs, then rode all the way back, its all a distant memory now of course.. // Cheers ' from Dj..

That sounds like fun..............but a long way to ride on a scooter..!! The Mods and Rockers era!

(I was 10 years old in 1962) :-)))

What a fantastic corner Keith! So colourful and interesting. Parmiters looks great! Just the kind of place and I could walk around for hours....and maybe buy something :-)

Beautifully captured.

Parminers has been there forever, but I have no idea how they survive...........it always seems to be closed..!!

Wonderful

great to be back to your photos:)

Thank you for all your kind comments folks..............your feedback is greatly appreciated.

More to come from Albert Road in due course!

Golden Currie--ik gebruik bijna altijd gewone;-))

I've never tried this place Fred..............yet!

I think that anywhere you go in the world, you'll find a restaurant called the Golden Curry :-))

As you say a great selection of businesses and non understated Keith,
It's a terrific street scene and one I like very much!

Thanks Roger...............I've always enjoyed wandering round this area, but it's only of late that I've started taking photos! Glad you like this one!

bunte Front Keith, gefällt mir

Thank you very much Wilfried.

The Magical Time Machine looks like fun - in fact the whole street is a carnival! Super shot, Keith! Either the wind is hurricane force there, or someone has bashed into all of those street barriers! Perhaps too much to drink for going around corners? '-)

Thanks Diane...............I've always enjoyed wandering round this area, but it's only of late that I've started taking photos! Glad you like this one!

The street barrier are exactly as they look...........and as far as I could see they were put in at an angle. It's a very weird place :-)

Trés bel endroit Keith. Mon 1er métier a été "peintre en lettres" Je n'ai pas exercé longtemps car celà est tombé en désuétude (remplacé par les lettres auto collantes) Il y a quelques années j'ai lu que les lettres peintes (et la publicité peinte) revenaient à la mode. On sentait effectivement un frémissement mais celà ne me parait pas se confirmer en France. Pense tu que ce que l'on voit là sont des lettres peintes ?

In the UK sign writing seems to have been a dying art, but apparently there are signs that they are making a comeback and the trade is becoming recognised again............but not in the pure form you may have been used to Jean Paul.

I found quite an interesting article here which gives a job description for a "modern day" signwriter: www.planitplus.net/JobProfiles/View/21/20

Eine bewundernswerte Straßenecke. Ich mag die bunte Häuserreihe, wobei jedes Haus seinen eigenen Charakter hat.
Ein origineller Fund, ausgezeichnet präsentiert, Keith!
