A good, clear sign on Great Hampton Street. It seems there was once a lot more information above the sign too. It was uncovered some time between 2023 and 2024 (edit update: uncovered around 2021)

first spotted by brianthelion post 1253 viv in 2021..i well remember hot footing it down there as there is another one on the opposite wall..i was hoping they would be protected from the weather but it seems not and once building starts on this site we may never see them again..

Thought it looked familiar. I expect it'll be covered over again once the site is developed. Maybe it's the photograph quality, but it looks in better nick now !

This is one of 3 signs (Stevens) virtually on the same site in Great Hampton Street. Two others facing this one are exposed. The first for Strawbridge painter decorators (previously reported on the 30 Great Hampton Street thread) and another above the Strawbridge sign for a business of suppliers of china. Unfortunately it's difficult to read this sign.
