The Beehive, Poole

The same lettering was used when this sign was repainted but there is a slight difference between the original version and the newer one, apart from the position of the different words on the wall of course: the first version included the name of the company that owned the stores. Unfortunately I haven't been able to decipher the first couple of letters. In the transcription below, the original sign is on the left, the second version on the right.

Sea fishing, Poole

For a hardened fisherman like Ernest Hemingway the prospect of being out at sea to catch only sea bass may not have been particularly enticing, but for those who fancy something less sportive than trying to catch an 18-foot marlin like Santiago in The Old Man and the Sea, this small business in Poole may offer the perfect outing.
