Pub Signs

I've just passed a pub in Bury that still had the old Thwaites neon sign,, you know the one that flashes alternate "Thwaites" "A1 Ales". Now I haven't seen one those for years, there used to be one on the wall of the Victoria on Manchester Rd. Does anyone know of any others still in existence?

Re: Pub Signs

I haven't seen one of those in ages. Does anyone remember the old OBJ signs?
