Can anyone make out the long word/phrase in the second layer of this palimpsest?

Layer 1 (rust lettering): "Whitebread, Earl Russell Inn"

Layer 2 (black lettering): "The Earl Russell, West _______ try"

The location is 143 Lawrence Hill, Bristol BS5 0BT (corner of Earl Russell Way) and the sign was revealed from beneath a billboard between 2019–20: https://maps.app.goo.gl/oKGDHEaDayoEB6ELA.

Wow, check out this monster palimpsest from Poughkeepsie, New York. In addition to the dominant Uneeda Biscuit layer, there is at least one other for what looks like Liberty Tobacco.

Running across the top are two lines that seem to be "Biggest and Best ... On Land and Sea, You'll All Agree" but I can't tell if this is part of the Uneeda Biscuit sign or from a third layer. Any thoughts?

I'm working with @RoyReed on a reissue of our book, Ghost Signs: A London Story. Sadly this is having to report on some signs lost since it was first published in 2021.

This is one of them, now time-capsuled beneath the new, taller, structure that has been erected on the plot immediately in front of the wall.

Autumn in the pass of the two stones for today's #StandingStoneSunday

Bwlch y Ddeufaen is so named for its two impressive monoliths, but there's more going on here; near the eastern stone there's a fan-shape of small standing stones, barely tall enough to see over the reedy grass. Millenia later, Roman soldiers marched through this pass where pylons now stride. The past and present leach into each other here.

This visit October 2011.

Pawned for Good: The Partial Palimpsest in St James

The ghost sign for the J.A. & G.E. Smith pawnbrokers in east London is been painted over and now lost. RIP.

For those that haven't seen it, Phil's 1997 public lettering walk for @atypi is still online here: http://www.publiclettering.org.uk/

One of the stops is the Herbert & Sons ghost sign, which features in our book (https://ghostsigns.co.uk/book) and on the @ghostsigns blog here: https://ghostsigns.co.uk/2017/03/scales-weights-weighing-machines-in-londons-kings-cross/

Witziger Satz:

Das #Palimpsest #gaufrierte den #Votiv

It seems a fragment of the original star catalogue of #Hipparcos may have been discovered. Would be a great discovery, marking a milestone of the beginning of quantitative #Astronomy . Another #Palimpsest for the win!

I'm heading to London tomorrow for a string of #ghostsigns walking tours.

Here are three of the signs that I'll be showing on my Stoke Newington walk.

Say hello to Palimpsest III - VI! Palimpsests are materials, such as manuscripts, that are reused or where new text is superimposed, but where traces of the earlier form are still visible. The latest additions to my #Palimpsest series have been created by reworking elements of my 2021 installation for @durhamcathedral #onesmallstep #paperart #origami #northeastartist #artistsofmastodon

Not a day for the high hills, all low cloud and strong winds. Instead a walk over a prehistoric #palimpsest landscape on the hills of #Ardudwy; sites from the #Neolithic, #BronzeAge and #IronAge all close together:

Pen y Dinas #Hillfort, Carnedd Hengwm Neolithic chambered long cairns and Bronze Age cairn circle.
