Here’s another throwback post to two beautiful shop signs - SUNSHINE BAR & CORONATION SALOON from Triq Il-Pitkali in Marsa. These were removed some years back. Photos taken in 2014, with the last being a screen grab from Google Maps, where the signs are still in their original locations 🤩

Here are some beautiful photos shared with me (together with a bunch of stories) by Mr. Borg from BORG’S COLONIAL STORE in Manwel Dimech Str. Sliema. I love finding out more about the story of these shops and their stunning facades ❤️❤️

I love it when photos of shopfronts that I’ve never seen before come to light! Here’s one of BONZO Bar, which appears to be in Valletta, that just posted an article about from a newly-released book by midsea books ‘Malta Through the Lens’, featuring photographs by David Wrightson.

OMEGA SHOE MAKER & REPAIRS in Bormla, without a doubt, one of my absolute favourite shop signs in Malta. Love the type and the shading treatment.

Sooooo disappointed to see that this beauty has been removed from in front of the Naxxar parish church! CAFFE’ OK BAR made, in my opinion, one of the top 5 ftajjar biż-żejt back in its day. Not only are the ftajjar no longer there for us to enjoy, but that wicked facade’s been removed too 🤕🤕
