List your names, favourite holidays, places with special meanings, children's names, private jokes, where you fell in love, where you have lived, anything is possible. A fantastic piece of statement art and a real conversation starter.

Variations

Please be aware that particularly long lines will either need to be split into two or abbreviated in some way. Very short lines will look equally odd so we may suggest you insert the word VIA or add a suffix.

A quick history lesson!

AEC Limited, the company that made the iconic Routemaster buses, was born in Walthamstow - just like me! Before WWI, Frank Pick, the Chairman of London Underground, commissioned Edward Johnston to create a typeface that could be legibly read by all at some distance, to be used on the front of trains and throughout the underground. When London Transport was created, merging all buses, tubes and trains the Johnston font became synonymous with London.

So the original British designers of the bus blind were Pick and Johnston, nearly a century ago! The first folk to bring us personalised bus blinds were the utterly fabulous Print Dolls in Australia and we are proud (actually pleased as punch) to be the only ones to have their blessing to offer the same here in the UK. We hold true to their high standards.

Made from

These custom bus blinds are printed on heavy weight superior canvas and then hand stretched on to a solid wooden frame made from European knotless pine.

The canvas is then hand finished by experienced framers who ensure each corner fold is perfectly smooth and tight.

Each canvas frame is milled with a curved profile; minimising contact with the face of the canvas; preventing unsightly impression marks and surface cracking.

Our canvases use finger jointed frames to create corner tension which helps to resist warping. For larger sizes, wooden ‘wedges’ are added to each corner; ensuring the canvas surface remains taut and allowing for easy re-stretching in future years.

Please note that this item is handmade and hand-finished. Great care is given to each stage and there may occasionally be variations in the blacks or other makers marks. The canvas is a pure, natural cotton canvas and there may be imperfections in the material, this is inevitable. Please try not to hang this canvas in direct sunlight as it will impact on the longevity of the deep colours. The background colour is deep matte black and the text colour is just off white to add to the authentic look and feel.

You'll get the chance to approve your canvas at the proofing stage.

Each print is individually designed by Rachel or Betsy and uploaded as a proof on your order page for your approval before printing.

Please make sure you have an account with notonthehighstreet when you order, as this lets you see the file! We normally send the proof within 1-2 days of accepting your order, so please keep a look out for it.

The smaller size is approx 71 x 109 cm (I know - it's not really small at all!)

Delivery & Returns

Delivery info

This item is made to order and can take up to six weeks to be made and delivered.

This is a very large item which will be delivered by courier and needs to be signed for on delivery. For your convenience you may want to leave instructions of a trusted neighbour who will sign for the item for you if you have to go out. And we strongly recommend that you get this item delivered direct to it's final destination. The larger canvas is HUGE and will not fit into anything smaller than a medium sized van!

We use national courier firm UK Mail to deliver our canvases on a next day service. We will be able to advise a day of delivery but not a time slot so it may be necessary to wait in for your delivery. If you are out when they call and they leave a card to rearrange delivery, please call them promptly or your canvas might be returned to us. If that happens, we will happily arrange redelivery, but will have to pass on those charges. We send our canvases in sturdy shipping crates which we will need back and normally book a courier to collect the empty box for the day after your canvas is delivered. Please bear this in mind when deciding what day to have your canvas delivered.

Returns

You have 28 days, from receipt of cancellable goods, to notify the seller if you wish to cancel your order or exchange an item.

Please note: goods that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to your specific requirements, perishable products and personal items sold with a hygiene seal (cosmetics, underwear) in instances where the seal is broken are non-refundable, unless faulty.
