Old paint

Old paint, originally uploaded by Lancaster Today.
Lancastrian Antiques has another sign, smaller and older than this one, protruding from the building on a rusty iron frame. It states simply "ANTIQUES" and was a natural draw for my eye. But I came to this sign after snapping several shots of its little brother, the flaking paint a focal point for the tired old shop. You might be interested to know that the opening hours of this shop are limited to one-and-a-half days a week, and "by appointment."

  1. As likely as not the dealer is going round fairs buying and selling on the other days.

  2. Thanks Hyde. In this case I'm not sure there is much dealing going on. Afaik, the owner is now an elderly man.
