Sydney Heritage Sign

[Custom_Grafx]

Walking around today in town, I took this photo, then looked up the company name on google, and saw that many others had taken the same photo, but among the results, I stumbled upon this document written by the NSW State Heritage Department.

It contains some images of heritage signs around Sydney, and also the guidelines regarding their conservation, restore and the such. Thought it might be of interest to some of us Aussies here, and to others (as some of them are very nice).

I also found this blog post which has a bit of history about the store depicted in my uploaded photo - Rex Simpson Fine Clothes.

In addition, I just stumbled upon this cool FB page called "Sydney's Type". If you have any photos of signs/type in Sydney, you can send it in and they'll put it up on the page. I'm just checking out their photos now, and they are cleanly categorised into suburbs n all fun.
