Signs of the past. - a photo on Flickriver

            An old fashioned sort of shop, Doolan Pet Supplies on the corner of London Road and Corporation Street, Stoke-on-Trent, still displays the old signs of Spratt's, the worlds first large scale manufacturer of dog biscuits, which was founded by the American James Spratt in the 1860's in Holborn, London.
This once major route into Stoke town centre now shows the signs of decay and neglect seen in so many parts of this once important city.
I do love the front window cill, good luck to the glazier.
