Abbotsford St North Melbourne: Sign Nerd Heaven?
Yes. Here we have some nice painted billboards (ancient) for Astor radios and Penfolds wine, on old sign on the side of a sub station, and the sign above a baby health centre which is still used for the same purpose, albeit as a 'maternal and child health centre'.

Bulla Cream
Corner Arden and Leveson Streets, North Melbourne
Lovely font. I assume this building is now full of over-priced apartments.

Where's a good folk club when you need it nowadays?

Colony Woollen Mill
Eastwood St, Kensington
This whole building looks fantastic - given the opportunity I'd have loved to have spent a couple of hours wandering around it. The best of the buildings are so often next to train lines.


Commonwealth Wool & Produce Co.
Sutton St, North Melbourne
This huge old building is now home to a number of businesses. It's impossible to appreciate just how huge this sign is until you're standing underneath it, but anyone who's travelled between Macauley and Flemington Bridge Stations should be able to give you an idea.

Manchester Unity Building
Corner Collins and Swanston Sts, Melbourne
What exactly does one have to do to become an Oddfellow?
The inside of this building is an absolute marvel. Good to see it has survived years of public use and the barbarism of the Bolte Government.

Shoeing Forge

Anyone who catches the No. 57 tram regularly will be well acquainted with this old yellow building.
