There have been many shop closures recently due to the credit crunch, and we can all recall the recent closures of stores such as Woolworths closing their doors for the final time making national news. We'll have to find somewhere else to go for our pick n mix. However one shopfront in particular caught my eye. Stanley's on Charing Cross Road in London has not renewed their lease and therefore we see it has closed. Take a look at the photos of the now existing windows before they are too wiped away and replaced by a new shop keeper within.Trailing florals and foliage stencilled into the white washed windows have left a striking temporary solution to what would normally entail a sad-looking boarded up window. This image really reminds me of an all over print I have produced previously which you can see in the portfolio.
