Roy ReedI spotted three faded ghost signs in Upper Norwood, near Crystal Palace earlier this week: 26 Church Road, 32 Westow Hill and Westow Street. They're all too faded or covered for anything to still be legible.

This Is My GlasgowIt provided an alternative to the NBRC shops and sold goods at fairer prices. This proved so popular that it grew to become the largest retailer in Springburn and at one time had 26 branches the area.
I don't know when this ghost sign dates from, but based on the font, I'm guessing sometime between the 1920s and the 1960s.

A ghost sign advertising the Cowlairs Cooperative Society on the side of their former shop on Angus Street in the Springburn area of Glasgow.
This cooperative society was founded in 1881 in response to the exploitative practices of the North British Railway Company, which was not only one of the largest employers in the area, but was also the largest landlord in Springburn.

Joe MansfieldI passed this earlier today and thought it would make an interesting photo as petrol is now almost €2.00 per litre.
The blue sign must date from the days when petrol was well below €1.00 per litre and probably actually from when it was well below £1.00 per litre.
SnaprailsDoes this totem outside #Guildford station count as a #GhostSign ?

This is a great ghost sign on Blythswood Street in Glasgow. It's a throwback to a time when people needed tailor-made gowns, everyone wore hats and fur was acceptable. It's part of an advert for G.S. Nichols at 186 Bath Street.
I love this ghost sign advertising Regalia Old Highland 22nd Whisky on the outer wall of the former Western Bar on Peel Street in Partick, Glasgow.
This photo is now available as a print from my online shop, along with a few other Glasgow ghost signs, at https://www.thisismyglasgow.com/product-category/ghost-signs/
