#ghostsigns — Public Fediverse posts

I've left Instagram, but these folks have put me back on there in the first of what will likely be four or five of these little #Ghostsigns segments:

It was fun to get back into tour guide mode and, if you can stand my voice, then the rest of this walk, and my two other London walks (including one that's free) are available from https://ghostsigns.co.uk/tours.

I've had an enquiry about this fading fascia that has been retained in situ at 74 Southwark Bridge Road, London SE1*.

It's a palimpsest for R. Sullivan (Wardrobe Dealer) and what someone once told me were metal workers A. Liechti

Various street directories between 1882–1939 have a tobacconists here, including those prior to 1900 when the house number looks like it was 56. However, the Liechti sign also seems to have the number 58 or 68 on it...

The presence of 74 on the Sullivan layer means that that sign at least is post-1939, unless that business was a short-lived occupancy between two tobacconists.

Can anyone shed any further light on it all?

The Horn & Hardart chain of ‘automat’ diners ceased to exist 35 years ago, yet this remnant of their advertising past clings on in Manhattan.

One of the the most visible and enduring restaurant advertising campaigns in the history of the South Coast has finally come to an end –– 20 years after the eatery closed.

A sign at the western gateway to the South Coast, on the southbound 101 freeway just west of Storke Road, featured Cafe Orleans which closed in Paseo Nuevo in 2004.
Bruxie now occupies the Cafe Orleans space.
After the eatery’s demise, our ghost restaurant ambassador to the west continued to receive 6,000 views per hour (at peak driving times) for the next two decades.
The adopt-a-highway sign recently switched to a new advertiser.

Interestingly, our restaurant ambassador at Santa Barbara’s eastern gateway is also a ghost eatery.
A prominent sign is still standing for The Big Yellow House in Summerland and that legendary dining destination served its last customer in 2006.
If their marquee can remain in place for just two more years, The Big Yellow House will break Cafe Orleans’ record for longest post-mortem restaurant advertising campaign on the South Coast.
