...of Nelson Column fame


The Ivory Restaurant and Piano Bar on Regents Terrace in the old Harrison's building.
Unfortunately I couldn't find much out about the bold statement painted on the front of this Grade-ii listed building on Regents Terrace. W.E. Harrison's Steeplejacks used to be situated there but it is now a restaurant and piano bar called The Ivory. The building signage reads "Steeplejack of Nelson Column fame", all I could find out that 'Teedy' (?) Harrison was the first man to climb Nelson's Column back in 1896.
The company still exists and is still on the same road, but just a bit further up, in a much smaller premises.

Good shot, it's great that they've kept the signage - too many fine examples of sign writing have been allowed the peel away or get painted over.
