Note the upside down shop sign. Was told by the staff that the sign had been hanging loose for some time and the joiner employed to correct it had fixed it upside down so it was left that way

Nos 35 - 39 Eastgate date from the early 19th century, and were probably built as houses in he first place, with the shopfronts being a later alteration. They were collectively Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101359882-35-39-eastgate-louth & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1359882 in 1974. There seems to be some sort of local tradition in mounting the business's sign upside-down on the front wall - this began in the early 20th century when the place was a general grocery store and the sign came off in a storm. It was accidentally put back upside-down, and became a local talking point for that reason; the owner kept it that way at the time, working on the basis that "Any publicity is good publicity". Since then the place has changed hands a number of times, going through phases as a stationery shop & bookstore, a newsagent, a dance studio and latterly a footcare business, and touchingly all the proprietors have kept the tradition going.
