Barber Shop

I am a bit late posting tonight because I have been to the cinema with a pal to see the Downton Abbey movie. Loved it and really recommend it.

On our way to the cinema I spotted the barbers shop and noticed that the barbers pole is now painted on a wall when once it used to be quite a glorified feature above the shop.

One day this movie may show on Sky - its too tricky for us to go to a movie theatre at this time. The painting is not as good as a real barber's pole but that is life!

It’s a shame that the old sign has been replaced.

the painted version is still quite nice :)

[Dione Giorgio]

I agree with Annie D. But some people change things not because the change is needed but for the fun of changing what is already beautiful.

You don't see as many any more

Does not seem to be a busy day, strange to paint it on the wall.

Nice capture

Well spotted and a cool shot.

We don't see barber poles anymore - painted or the real thing. They are instantly recognisable

Great find and capture

Nice find and capture

Yes they used to stick out on a pole over the shop….the stripes used to move too I think! Good to hear the film was good, I’m going on Monday with my cinema friend!

[Carole Sandford]

Nice to see that it still features though. Will probably wait to see the film on TV.

[Issi Bannerman]

Nice! Noted about the movie!

[Margaret Brown]

Nice find!

[Shutterbug]

If they had a real barber pole, I wonder why they would replace it. Nice spotting.

Neat shot

[Rick]

Cool capture.

I guess this one doesn't need as much electricity. (smile) Good catch!

My Grandmother's boyfriend (gasp!) was a barber. We used to love going to his shop just to see the turning pole.
