One of the UK's last Neon sign makers is fighting to keep the "endangered" craft alive.
Julia Bickerstaff, 58, has made thousands of incredible neon signs for people's living rooms since she started the job in 1987.
She even featured on Discovery Plus TV show Salvage Hunters: The Restorers and has created signs for companies including Disneyland Paris.
But Julia says that people are now choosing to have LED lights, which look like neon signs, instead of the real thing - which means the craft is now endangered.
