A terrazzo threshold with a monogram at the entrance to what is now Wee Paree on Crow Road in Glasgow. I'm presuming the A.C. stands for Andrew Cochrane, whose Cochrane's grocery store chain was founded in the 1880s and had grown to around 100 stores by 1914, shortly after the tenement where this threshold still is was constructed.

84 Buchanan Street in Glasgow. This is part of a group of Classical commercial buildings constructed around 1835 and designed by Robert Foote, the first architectural mentor of Alexander 'Greek' Thomson.

The ghost sign on it is for the bookbinding and printing firm McCormick and Company, which was founded by John McCormick in 1890 and survived until 2011.

A threshold ghost sign at the entrance to 10 Park Road in the West End of Glasgow. It marks the location where Arnold Clark opened his the very first car showroom in 1954.

The Brunswick, on Leith Walk, which has, like a number of local businesses, retained the old "ghost signs" from previous inhabitants, a nice wee bit of local history

Not sure if this counts as a #ghostsign, but wanted to get a picture in case the post-fire renovation doesn't preserve it

Love this ghost sign on Clarkston Road in Muirend. The MER refers to the nearby Merrylee Telephone Exchange, which was built in 1928. This means the sign can be dated from between that year and 1966 when All-Figure Dialling was introduced in the UK, and the MER prefix was replaced with the code 637. I've no idea which business this number once belonged to.
