'Ghost' signs - then and now.

[homes and lines]

Hello, having seen this recently, I had to take a picture..

Anyone seen this one and anyone got other Stafford ghost signs, to share?

I'm sure a few of you know more about who the sign originally belonged to.
What was there?

I can make out CORN & PROVISION and J.Berry.
Looks to be another below that.

The North End of town abounds in ghost signs.

Ha, correct!

I was of course referring to the ghost sign, clue's in the title.

Seems this wall has had a number of painted signs, over the years.

Not as old, but I like the old eighties Top Shop logo, showing on the empty shop in Gaolgate Street. Ahh, memories

Back of the Nag's Head / Off The Hook.

The window used to be a bit smaller and not extend into the sign area.

We seem to have a time paradox. My photo with the window enlarged & extending down into the sign and the lower window converted into a grill was taken 12 October 2009. The Google photo showing the original situation is marked "image capture 2016".

It may not be a window - it may be a portal?

That could explain a lot.
