The first picture here is a wonderfully explicit illustration of a more recent layer of paint drying out, cracking, and falling off to reveal the ghost sign beneath. That layer is, in turn, also cracking and falling off the wall.
Fabulous #ghostsigns

@aarbrk You could once have taken them down to the Music Roll Exchange in Clapham, London:
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.

Was showing someone the Tripadvisor reviews I used to gather for my Ghostsigns walks (https://ghostsigns.co.uk/tours) and noticed there's a new one.
Sorry Annette, I think it's someone else's walk you went on!

I‘m convinced that my cat defended me from a demon or ghost or some other inter dimensional being tonight. When I got to bed shortly after 1 am I turned off the lights and he jumped onto my bed and after a while I felt his body shifting or he let himself fall over and suddenly hissed at something in the dark and was immediately quiet after and lied down beside me. Thanks Rune.
@sarae Did you stay late enough to see the 'Light Capsules'?

Now, the only reminders of these once uniquitous names in Glasgow grocery shopping are ghost signs like these, which mark where their stores once stood. While the Galbraith's ghost signs are quite common (often carved in stone above what are still convenience stores to this day), the one on Minard Road is the only Cochrane's ghost sign I've come across so far, potentially making it a unique survivor from Glasgow's past.
