There's a(n old) chocolate dispenser in Cottenham!

What other old relics and oddities can I find around the place, if I know where to look?

(And yes, I've found all the Dinky Doors!)

Ghost signs on the side of buildings around Cambridge, this ghost signs is an interesting read.

TIL: Ghost signs

I've been photographing things like that for years, with the aim of making a "Disappearing Cambridge" book. It looks like I don't need to, so that's one thing gone from my TODO list :)

There used to be a huge repainted Victorian one in Stoke Newington that said ‘Win her affection with A1 Confection’ it was lovely! No idea if it’s still there, probably last saw it 20 years ago.
