Signs of Pilgrims Rest II

Another post on the gorgeous museum village of Pilgrims Rest, which we
visited late last year.   As per previous posts, most buildings are as
they were in times gone by and are being used as actual stores,
hotel space or living museums ...               This blue building is the original
general dealer (grocer etc.etc.) so it is set up as a real store back
in the times of the gold rush.   It  great to walk around and see the
 wares "on sale" and other wonderful items for that time. 

I loved the texture and detail on the outside and of course the gorgeous red and

rather rusty Pepsi sign....

Another store sign in the area ... selling arts & crafts and also serving

as a restaurant.   This is the same place where we stopped to enjoy

pancakes  - click here to see yesterday's post

Pancakes at Pilgrims Rest

This is one of the places we stopped at for a bite whilst visiting

Pilgrims Rest in December 2009.  

The whole village is a living museum, with old buidlings restored

and mostly being used as stores, hotels or for other arts & crafts or

museum display purposes.

Signs of Pilgrims Rest

Images of some of the vintage and historical signs at Pilgrims Rest

- a living museum mining village in Mpumalanga. 

It's the original mining town of the region and is still a beautiful place to visit.  

For those interested, it's close enough to Mac Mac Falls (see post below), God's Window and even the Kruger National Park - for more info on the town, here is a link.
 I hope to be posting more of the gorgeous and quirky signs over the weeks to come.
