This
neon sign was originally fitted in 1937 but had to be removed during the war
due to the blackouts. And not refitted until the late 1940s. The building
was then owned by the famous wine merchants Avery's who had Purchased the
interiors of the ship after its last voyage in 1934 and then scraped in 1935.
The sign had fallen into disrepair in the middle 70s and was totally refurbished. The new AVERY'S
FINE WINES was added later.This was
then removed and replaced recently with new lettering
Sadly this great landmark on Park St in Bristol UK fell into disrepair in
the late 80's and 90's and was left to others with insufficient
knowledge of neon. Now the new owners
of the building have with the aidofPML
signs been able to bring it back to life and to the original
beauty of spectacular Neon.
