Ghost Sign

From Historical Hastings

A ghost sign is advertising paintwork that is often revealed when layers of paint are stripped from a ​building​, normally to be painted over again. As such, they are frequently transient in nature, however some ​building​s have the advertising slogans preserved. In addition to the images of such signs below a further example - that of the 'Lavender Laundry' can be found in Athelstan Road[1], with undoubtedly more hidden behind multiple layers of paint.
