“Alarm Shop II”, Islington: where’s Shop 1?

1 Comment Posted by on September 8, 2012

“Alarm Shop II” burglar alarm, Islington • Now a very brief run of alarms named after shops. Not famous shops, like M&S or Tesco – just generic shops, as in Shop. This disco-tastic logo actually says Shop II, which is quite odd – I’m presuming it’s pronounced Shop Two, as in Elizabeth Two, rather than Shop Eleven, as in a football team. But I’ve never found a Shop I. • Spotted: Packington Street, Islington, London, N1, England, 2011 • Politics: In the Labour constituency of Islington South and Finsbury

    IIRC the Alarm Shop was in Hackney, near the Mildmay pub.
    Many moons ago.
    cheers
