ARCHITEXTS: Things written on buildings (1)
Good friends that to this seat repair
Rest and be thankful but forbear
With sordid scraps the ground to strew.
OTHERS REST HERE AS WELL AS YOU.
Shelter, Mundesley, Norfolk (and elsewhere?)

One of my favourites is Edward Thomas's poem Adlestrop attached to the eponymous station seat in the bus shelter in, yes, Adlestrop. On the back of the wooden structure is one of the original station signs.
A favourite of mine, too. I'm an occasional user of this railway line, although Adlestrop station is no more, hence the removal of its sign to the bus shelter. For another great Engish poem inscribed on a building, see the post on West Kirby, August 19.
