What does the sign say on the shop?

Sorry Dave even the original which I have in my hand is so unfocused it is no clearer

In the first picture I am the guide by the cab and my mother is with her back to the camera she was the liuetenant in the guides .

I’ve been playing about with sections of the bottom picture, using digital filters and am convinced that the large sign on the shop reads “ROBIN HOOD”. It also seems to me that the top word of the banner on the trailer could be “JUVENILE”, with the word “HULK” below. Does that mean anything to anybody – were they depicting a shipwreck?

Further consideration suggests that the bottom word on banner could well be “HULA”, which would fit better into a carnival environment and the trailer looks like it might be decked in a South Seas theme.
