THE LOST NAMES OF SPURTLESHIRE
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
For the last 10 years, Spurtle has been photographing the street-name signs of Spurtleshire.
The aim has been to record their variety of design, aesthetic appeal, interesting history, and the effects of time and human interaction.
Today, we concentrate on the haunting presence of Spurtleshire street names long since passed away.

Spotted on a wall off Chambers Street today: fleeting thoughts anchored in a transient moment.
The rapidly fading poems read:
THIS IS A CRAYON
I GOT IT AT McDONALDS
TO WRITE THIS HAIKU
I AM VAPING HERE
CHERRY FLAVOR IN MY MOUTH
FEED ME APPLE PIE
