You can grab your very own vintage Dublin street sign at a "retirement auction" next week.
Motor enthusiast Hugh Nolan led a double life and has secretly collected thousands of items from car boot sales over the decades. The 65-year-old's impressive 1,200-lot collection includes a stash of street signs from the capital and across the country, as well as cars and other memorabilia.
Mr Nolan worked as a contract manager in the construction trade in Belfast for 30 years and built up his collection in his spare time through car boot sales. Later in life, he opened McNean Antique and Salvage Shop in Blacklion, Cavan.
