@cgledhill: Ghost signs can be found in most UK villages, towns and cities. They are really easy to spot when you start looking for them. Some date back 100+ years. They often tell a fascinating story about the buildingโs previous occupants. Keep a look out for them and let me know if you spot any good ones! #History #ghostsigns #londonhistory #historytok #london
The car is a Morris minor as we had one when I was 5 years old now 58 ๐คญ

This Bovril (ghost) sign in Brixton was painted by my grandad. Thereโs a very faint Butlins advert under it

Why are they always so visually appealing compared to modern day billboards

This is the kind of tourist stuff I love doing! It's small details of history that people don't usually look for.

Ha! Boomer instincts kicking in, I recognised it instantly. I think itโs a Morris Minor, probably an early sixties model.

There was a lovely ghost sign near South Woodford station that was painted over by a new cafe owner and the community was so devastated that they repainted the old sign

Very interesting and accurate, apart from going cashless. What a colossal mistake that would be.
