Britain’s Pre-War Glow Problem

Looking back, it feels surreal: in June 1939, just months before Britain plunged into war, the House of Commons was debating glowing shopfronts.

Gallacher, never one to mince words, rose to challenge the government. How many complaints had rolled in about wireless sets being ruined by neon signage?

The reply turned heads: roughly one thousand cases logged in a single year.

Picture it: ordinary families huddled around a crackling set, desperate for dance music or speeches from the King, only to hear static and buzzing from the local cinema’s neon sign.

The Minister in charge didn’t deny it. But here’s the rub: shopkeepers could volunteer to add suppression devices, but they couldn’t be forced.

He spoke of a possible new Wireless Telegraphy Bill, but stressed that the problem was "complex".

Translation? Parliament was stalling.

The MP wasn’t satisfied. He pushed for urgency: speed it up, Minister, people want results.

Another MP raised the stakes. If neon was a culprit, weren’t cables buzzing across the land just as guilty?

Tryon deflected, basically admitting the whole electrical age was interfering with itself.

---

Looking back now, this debate is almost poetic. Neon was once painted as the noisy disruptor.

Fast forward to today and it’s the opposite story: the once-feared glow is now the heritage art form begging for protection.

---

So what’s the takeaway?

vintage neon signs London has always been political, cultural, disruptive. From crashing radios to clashing with LED, it’s always been about authenticity vs convenience.

In 1939 it was seen as dangerous noise.

---

Our take at Smithers. We see proof that neon was powerful enough to shake Britain.

So, yes, old is gold. And that’s why we keep bending glass and filling it with gas today.

---

Forget the fake LED strips. Glass and gas are the original and the best.

If neon could shake Westminster before the war, it can certainly shake your walls now.

Choose the real thing.

We make it.
