I noticed this end-of-terrace when the train from Scarborough was halted at a red signal on the approach to Hull’s Paragon Station back in 2011; the odd one out in a photograph album full of seaside snapshots. I am not entirely sure why these signs appeal to me, but a certain amount of the “ghost signs” charm lies in the beauty of the sign writers art.

Haha! I didn’t realise there was such a thing! Thanks for letting me know. I’ll check the archive next time for an entry.
You can also submit your own discoveries for inclusion. Your photo of this one would be worthwhile given the different angle you have:

That’s two forms submitted and the photograph e-mailed off.
I’ll have to keep an eye for ghostsigns on my travels and when I’m looking back through my rather disorganised photograph archive.
