A Balham mosaic
I suppose this is an entry to file more under 'cute' than 'intriguing' as I'm not sure there's much more to it than its aesthetic quality. It's a long thin strip of mosaic with little more than a recurring flower motif that I came across in Balham the other week. It was obviously the threshold of a decent sized premises in its heyday but now it's spread between two different shops and in places it's starting to look a little worn.
Still, despite its simplicity I was quite attracted to it and thought it was worth a brief mention. Although the flowers are simple they're quite effective and it would be interesting to know what the original store was...
Absolutely love your site. I also am "one of those people" who adore old signs and buildings. Thanks for your work! Peter
ReplyDeleteI used to have a friend whose nickname was the Mitcham Obelisk. The reason why has nothing to do with your interesting story, however.
