Upcycling
From salvaged scaffolding boards to sleek and sophisticated shelves ... clever Mr Butterfly Mind!
My contribution was driving to collect 25 4ft bits of wood from a working scaffolding yard in deepest Bow ...

Illegible
Nice ghost sign in Walthamstow, near the William Morris Gallery.
I played around with it in Photoshop in an attempt to make it legible but to no avail...
While we were peering at the sign, the owner stopped in his car and wound down the window, to see if we'd deciphered it. He thought it had been a barbers or beauty parlour. This building stands alone on this corner of Forest Road, amid sixties council estates, lone survivor of what must have been pretty devastating blitz damage.
Any ideas what it says? Please post in the comments if you can make it out!
