Upholsterers of distinction


Upholsterers of distinction claims the nameplate on the former premises of the Stockport Restoration Co. on Avenue Street.


The building on the tautologically named Avenue Street off Great Portwood Street probably looked quite stylish in its day.


Buddleia is a plant that will grow almost anywhere and loves to attach itself to derelict buildings such as this.

A contribution to signs, signs and Floral Fridays.

  1. I wonder if anything can be done with the building.

  2. In our small South African country town, wealthy city people buy a building like this and renovate it. Mostly restored to its former glory. Unfortunately, then the new owners go back to the city and leave the building unused.

  4. Lovely old weathered sign design. The building begs for some loving touches.

  6. Looks like the "Restoration" company could spend some time on their sign. Tom is right.
