What a sign to see

We recently visited family in Bury St Edmunds and on our drive out of the town we spotted a the sign for Northgate Video & DVD - a video rental shop!

This reminded me of small, independent video shops from back in the day

We've spent the last few years documenting the last traces of Blockbuster Video stores here in the UK, and we've found some other video shop signage on our travels. So it was brilliant to find Northgate Video & DVD in Bury St Edmunds was still trading. Unfortunately it was a Bank Holiday so the shop wasn't open, but we're planning to visit next time we're in the area.
