To stray slightly from Shoreditch, I looked at your others one of

I have occasionally wondered about this but seeing your photo
made me find out the history of this.


Must be this one then:

For anyone interested, this is a discussion about this on

Very interesting, thanks for the link! For anyone interested, the
place is easy to find. The lettering is on the wall on the eastern
side of Blackfriars Road under the railway from Charing Cross.
Practically just outside Southwark tube station.


I know it well. It's just East of Waterloo East. Was there a station on
the other side of Blackfriars Road at one time then? The viaduct is wider
than the tracks there too.
