THE LOST NAMES OF SPURTLESHIRE

Submitted by Editor on

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

For the last 10 years, Spurtle has been photographing the street-name signs of Spurtleshire.

The aim has been to record their variety of design, aesthetic appeal, interesting history, and the effects of time and human interaction.

Today, we concentrate on the haunting presence of Spurtleshire street names long since passed away.
