In my good books

This gorgeous tiled welcome is in Duke Street, Liverpool. The sign on the handsome building tells us something of its history - it housed Liverpool's first public library. It was built around 1800 and was originally the Union Newsroom, becoming a library in 1852. It's now offices and they've kept the lovely tiles and the sign. 

Wet wit

They're realistic about the weather at the Twice Brewed Inn on Hadrian's Wall. As soon as I saw the signs, I knew I'd enjoy it here. 

Queen Victoria makes her mark

Victoria Regina (Queen Victoria) sign at Arbor Low neolithic henge in Derbyshire. The posts mark the protected area of the henge. Arbor Low is magnificent, windswept and atmospheric - one of my favourite places.
