Then and now (last post for the day)

Over the last few days I've been looking at the photos from the Lewis and Skinner collection. Mainly of Mobil service stations, a few didn't have addresses attached. So I posted them to Facebook and asked some friends. Combining their eagle eyes and research skills, plus my own attempts, we've been able to identify quite a few, as seen here:

  1. I have this great Bushells faded sign on my blog - took several photos and if you want them, I can email to you.
    Some of my past posts have featured old signs I've seen around Melbourne.

  2. Hi Leon.

    They're wonderful signs - thanks for alerting me. They also tie is so well with the Lewis & Skinner online signwriting archive I'm doing (www.lewisandskinner.com)

    Where in Surrey Hills are they? Would love to get out there and take a look before they're covered up again. And would you be willing to let me repost your pics if I acknowledge you and put in a link to your blog?
