Ghost Ads

[foz101]

There's a great big Bovril ad in Redhill, Surrey atm. I didn't get a pic when I was last there but found one via www.ghostsigns.co.uk, a site which deserves a link on this thread I think.

Click the pic to see it bigger.

cheers dude! but its an R32 Skyline, so you were close!

had only just got it back about an hour before that pic was taken... had a drifting 'incident' in the woods a little while ago!! You cant really see it in the pic, but there's a big tree shaped dent behind the filler cap door!!!

They are looking for ones they don't already have on their site.

Spotted these fellas from the car on a rare trip through my old stamping ground of Derby:

Something appeals to my childish sense of humour for a large advert proclaiming 'morning glory'

Something for the weekend sir?

Cheers

Old Wall Sign Walsall

Recently this site has now got a new buiding next to it. The guy there said it was now listed.

I like old signs like this.

Oh that's really nice. I love how they just built right up to it. It would never have been preserved otherwise.

Excellent idea, thanks for "resurrecting" this thread (had not been aware of its existence). I do have a few, all from Norfolk (Reepham, New Buckenham and Outwell) .

I love old brewery signs especially those of ind coope and ansell and those of the bass estates as work in the two breweries which owned and brewed these beers
