#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.

‘Petroglyph Enhancement’ with Ken Jones (RIP) discussing one of the Photoshop techniques he used to dissect ghost signs and identify content and layers that are invisible to the naked eye.

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?

Nice to see a council appreciating a local ghost signs, and commissioning a contemporary mural that recognises it.

Thank you @zillanovikov and @youseeatortoise for inviting me on!
