Shop Front, Roman Road, London E2

Well, here's satisfying. In a street of shop signs made of self-adhesive letters, neon signs and bad typography, here's a silver-on-black, probably 1920's(?) sign that's somehow survived - perhaps simply because it's beautiful.

They've even kerned the name, but not the numbers. There's attention to detail.
