Western's Laundry, Crouch Hill

This ghost sign has been slowly fading away but when freshly painted it would certainly have caught the attention of the passing public with its modern design and its deep blue frame, a colour that matched the ultramarine tiles used on the front of the laundries (unfortunately these and the chrome lettering are long gone).
From the few pieces of information I could find, it seems Western's Laundries Ltd was founded during the first decade of the 20th century. By the 1960s, if not earlier, it had become part of the Sunlight group. Its laundries, located in north London, remained open until the 1980s.

A white band with the letters "has a" is wrapped around the first letter of 'Service.' Was this part of the Western's Laundry sign or of an earlier one?

Flameout, Crouch Hill

Yesterday my steps took me through Crouch Hill where I noticed two fifths of the Flameout sign are now hidden behind a modern sign.
This North London family-run central heating and plumbing firm was founded in the early 1980s and is still operating today, albeit from other premises.
