Harrogate is perhaps best known for Betty's tea rooms and the Turkish Baths (and, of course, the world-famous design consultant who lives there), but this shot in the late autumn afternoon sun made me feel more like I was in New York in one of those cross streets in Midtown past Fashion Avenue. The yellow cabs and the water towers were missing, but otherwise...
Odeon architecture (conveniently blocking out the new Odeon branding in my shot) topped with a lovely piece of art deco lettering. Even the blue neon stripes look good. Try getting Bloggs Signs to space letters like that now... You can't, can you?
(with apologies to any sign company actually called Bloggs, it's not you, this one is an imaginary company responsible for the sign ills of the World.)
