Barbers Pole

Thanks for putting yesterday's Yellow House on the TP and the PP. It is a beautiful house.

It is interesting to see how the Barbers Poles have changed over the years isn't it.

I remember them hanging over the shop when I was a child and now this one is painted next to the doorway.

what a great find and shot. We don't have any of these anywhere anymore.

[Nigel Rogers]

Great shot, rarely see these signs now.

[Taffy]

A flashback scene for sure!

[Peter]

You can still see them occasionally over the doors Babs will have to look one out:)

[Susan Wakely]

A sign of the times!!

[Beryl Lloyd]

How interesting to have the signs vertically on a post like this ! great find !

[Joan Robillard]

You so rarely see a pole any more at least around here.

[Valerie Chesney]

Great find!
A new barber shop has opened near us & it has a pole.
I must take a photo to show you, I think it is different to yours,

[Brian]

Well found and captured

[Dione Giorgio]

Maybe it is because this is more conspicuous for those looking for a barber's shop. I cannot say I have ever noticed any sign like this or the other because I haven't been to a barber's for a haircut ever since I got married over 50 years ago. I used to really hate going in for a haircut when I was young. On the first opportunity after I got married I asked her if she would do it for me, with palpitations she agreed and I have never been to a barber ever since.

Cool shot!

[Lou Ann]

Great capture of these easily recognizable symbols. There’s no doubt what’s in that building.

@sangwann
Great story.

[John Falconer]

Well spotted. Babs

[Peter Dulis]

nice

[Christine Sztukowski]

Yes the poles have certainly changed over the years.

[Mags]

Well now, that's different! =)

[Margaret Brown]

Well you wouldn’t miss it would you!! Nice find!!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

This one has moved even further away from the "pole" as it looks more like a sign. Good catch.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Very cool looking. I like it.

[Sue Cooper]

I've never seen one like this, it is very different.

[Kathy]

Don't see those around much anymore.

[carol white]

Nice shot

[Beverley]

Rare find! Nice one

[Olwynne]

Not seen one like that before. Great find

[Judith Johnson]

I don't think I've seen one for a very long time!

@ludwigsdiana @nigelrogers @taffy @pcoulson @wakelys @beryl @joansmor @briaan @paintdipper @louannwarren @johnfalconer @pdulis @365projectorgchristine @marlboromaam @craftymeg @olivetreeann @mittens @susiemc @randystreat @carolmw @beverley365 @ollyfran @busylady Thanks. This is the only place I have seen a barbers pole for years. I think because most hairdressers here these days are unisex.

@happysnaps Look forward to seeing it Valerie.

@sangwann I always cut David's hair too. Have done since we first married 54 years ago.

[Rick]

Great find and capture.

[Rob Z]

Nice half and half feel...

[Kathy A]

I've never seen this type of pole before
