Shakespeare pub

[Shane]

Walked past the Shakespeare this morning and it was taped off with police tape and there was a police car and some city police there. Wondered if anyone knows what happened.

[Luke Johnson]

Yes shane,

The crescent house sign fell off the building so they where securing what was left of it!

A shame really it didn't blow away the whole lot! Ugly signs everywhere...

[Steve Daszko]

Yes, looks real ugly as it is now eh!

[Shane]

Crikey. I thought that something really bad had happened. Obviously it could have hurt someone but three policemen and a squad car. 

[Steve Daszko]

Agree Shane. Does sound a bit excessive eh.

Crescent House has a Grade ll *, so think the sign will be replaced. And, why not?  Just hope they make sure it doesn't fall off again. But, I suppose that's not bad after 50 years!  Just hope its not a bad omen, as I love living in Crescent House.

The signage around the city is part of what designates it as unique. It plays an important role in letting people know that this is a special place. Describing it as simply 'ugly' and should be removed seems a little careless. I made a video about signage around the city that I hope gives people a better appreciation of it's significance...

I agree with you Michael.  These signs are part of our Estate, and I certainly hope the 'gap' is filled again soon, as it looks ugly as it is right now.
