Back to '92, as all the old skool ravers say. And thanks to a rupture in the space-time continuum people passing under the railway bridge at Brockley Cross could do just that this week, where the removal of a hoarding under the railway bridge on Brockley Road has unveiled a gallery of fading posters from twenty years ago.
Our finest Transpontine subcultural archaeologists have dated these artefacts from very late 1991 and/or very early 1992, with the most likely date being November or December 1991.

Lovely pictures. This discovery reminded me of a artist project in Salford, a series of conversations based around the remnants of posters from the miners' strike that had somehow survived under railway arches

We love to see our poster from 1991 featured with some other iconic images. Why not look at our website www.irvinleisure.com to see our current fairs and posters, or better still visit the fair when it is in your area!
