Social History and Culture

Originally published by The History Press in 2014, this new second edition of Helen’s book on ghost signs offers a photographic journey into London’s often overlooked advertising history, profiling hand-painted advertising from across the city. It investigates the companies that commissioned the signs that now appear faded – like ghosts – on the brickwork of buildings. It is a snapshot of a time that is almost forgotten but which lives on through the sometimes haunting presence of ghost signs on the city’s streets.

Richly illustrated with 150 full-colour signs, this collection reveals the many varied industries and businesses of London’s past. This book has now sold out of its original print run.
