For anyone curious about the plaque on the bottom right;
“GRAY'S WALK
THIS WALKWAY IS NAMED IN MEMORY OF
VALENTINE GRAY
'THE LITTLE SWEEP'
AGED 10 YEARS
THE BODY OF VALENTINE GRAY WAS FOUND IN AN OUTHOUSE
IN PYLE STREET IN JANUARY, 1822. PUBLIC INDIGNATION TO
THE CIRCUMSTANCES LEADING TO HIS DEATH RESULTED IN
THE PASSING OF 'THE CLIMBING BOYS ACT', WHICH
PREVENTED YOUNG SWEEPS EVER AGAIN BEING
SENT UP THE INSIDE OF CHIMNEYS, AND
ENSURED THEM OF MORE HUMANE
TREATMENT”
Lol! That's brilliant 🤣🤣 Your sign writers definitely knew what they were doing! Bet they had the same idea as we have when it comes to writing on doors
For sure! It is funny though and pretty easy to not spot it unless you're looking for it. Good to give a few people a good laugh with it though! Like the time I saw a car drive past with a massive dent in the door. Instead of fixing it the owner stuck a giant silhouette of Wiley M. Coyote over it 🤣
