    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The use of neon signs as an advertising method for shops increased post-war in the 1950s, alongside a boom in incoming migration and setting up of shops and stores. As business owners typically planned for their businesses to be passed on through generations, they were known to ‘invest a lot in getting a sign commissioned’ as it carried a lot of significance and identity. As the economy prospered in the later half of the 20th century, the signs became de rigueur in the urban cityscape – an icon in its own right, and inspiring many cultural references in movies and media.
