Wie schon letztes Jahr konnte sich der Ortsverband #Rheine #N16 des #DARC auf dem #Martinsmarkt in #Rheine präsentieren. Diesmal gab es wieder eine Empfangsstation für FT8 Signale und die QO100 Station. Großen Zulauf brachte das Glücksrad. Je nach Zahl wurde eine Frage aus dem Amateurfunkbereich vorgelesen, die dann beantwortet werden musste. Als Gewinn und natürlich auch zum Trost gab es kleine Gummibärtütchen. Ca 160 Tüten und Luftballons wurden unter die Kinder und Erwachsenen gebracht.

Im Vordergrund steht eine Person die ein Funkgerät auf einem Stehtisch bedient. Auf dem Stehtisch steht ein Prospektständer für viele Flyer. Links im Bild liegt eine überdimensional große Morsetaste, die mit dem Fuß bedient werden kann.Unter dem blauen DARC Pavillon steht ein Tisch mit Bildschirmen und Funkgeräten. In der rechten Bildhälfte ist ein drehbares Glücksrad zu sehen.

A lovely exemplar of Art Deco in Stoke Newington

#ArtDeco #artdecoandartnouveau #stokenewington #n16 #hercules
a wrought-iron front-yard gate, roughly square in shape with the top-left corner rounded and a sunburst motif radiating from the bottom right. Along the top the word “HERCULES” is rendered in appropriately Art Deco lettering. Beyond it is a path to the front door of a house.

Welcome followers that I've migrated from my previous Ghostsigns account on mastodon.social. I'm now posting that stuff here, alongside my wider adventures in sign painting with @sam .

I won't be offended if you just want the ghost signs stuff and choose to unfollow me and/or follow the #Ghostsigns tag 😊

Pictured is the sign that started all this in the first place: Waterman's Ideal Fountain Pen / Walker Bros., Stoke Newington Church St., London N16.

#ghostsign #StokeNewinton #London #N16

View of upper two storeys of a brick building. Between the two rows of windows, and on a vertical straddling both floors to the right, is a fading painted sign in white on black. In addition to a pictorial of a fountain pen, it includes lettering that reads: "Fount Pens Repaired, Any Make, Walker Bros., Fount Pen Specialists, Phone Dalston 4522, Agents For, Waterman’s Ideal Fountain Pen."

I've added a comment to give a bit more context to the main sign so scroll to the end to see that.

Thank you @RoyReed for the tip-off.

@crinolinerobot This headstone is about three rows back, and the cemetery volunteers helped me track it down in the context of this ghost sign. The sign is located just a short distance from the High St entrance to Abney Park, and was where Robert Ellis and his wife lived and ran their ironmongers business.

I wrote a little about it here: cemeteryclub.wordpress.com/201

En route to London, and looking forward to this weekend's walk in Stoke Newington. I still have a couple of tickets for Saturday morning, so please join us and/or boost — 😃 — to let your friends and followers know.

ghostsigns.co.uk/tours

Pictured is one of a number of palimpsests that feature on the walk. At different times, it advertised the Lancashire cotton spinners John Hawkins & Sons, and the Steele's glass merchants and manufacturers.

This walk is still three months away, but is already half full. If you want to join me in Stoke Newington, London, on 24 August, then grab a ticket sooner rather than later:

mastodon.social/@ghostsigns/11

Tickets at ghostsigns.co.uk/tours.

PS. I've been working on some new laminated photographs to share en route, with much of the material gathered while working on the book: ghostsigns.co.uk/book.

My only in-person walking tour for 2024 is in Stoke Newington on Saturday, 24 August.

I am excited to get back on the street to introduce guests to the wonderful ghost signs in the area that I first started documenting and researching these remnants of advertising past.

More details and tickets are here on my website: ghostsigns.co.uk/tours/

I would appreciate any boosts, and please do share with friends in London that might enjoy the walk.

@planetaryecologist And, in the niche realm of ghost signs (fading painted signs), a palimpsest is the appearance of multiple layers of lettering that occurs when newer signs decay to reveal those that lie beneath.

This photo by @RoyReed shows at least three layers of text for the same business, Cakebread Robey & Co. and it's story is told in our book, Ghost Signs: A London Story (ghostsigns.co.uk/book).

Portion of a brick wall that is painted white with overlapping layers of deep red painted lettering advertising a variety of household items such as stoves, ranges, lavatories, sanitary fittings, and locks. Towards the bottom is then a horizontal strip of smaller lettering that gives different locations for the business, again with overlapping layers.

@overholt That's brilliant.

Something similar happens to sign painters that don't prepare, eg this one in London where they realised that Stoke Newington wouldn't fit in all uppercase letters and adjusted themselves accordingly.

The sign features in the book by @ghostsigns and @RoyReed, see ghostsigns.co.uk/book.

#ghostsigns #London #PostOffice #StokeNewington #N16 #SignPainting

Fading painted sign on a curved brick wall. It reads "POST OFFICE, SToke Newington, ALLEN RD, N16". The valueless capitalised ST of Stoke shows that the sign painter started the line with the intention of using all uppercase letters, before realising that the number of letters wouldn't fit and so reverted to sentence case.

Does anyone know what this number/code signifies on Knebworth Rd, London N16: 9684 N.N.S.?

There is another with the same N.S.S. suffix in Notting Hill, which happens to be just below a ghost sign. This could indicate they are site markers for an outdoor advertising company, but that is currently just speculation. .

Answers on a postcard, or in a reply, and please boost to increase reach...

I'm heading to London tomorrow for a string of #ghostsigns walking tours.

Here are three of the signs that I'll be showing on my Stoke Newington walk.

You can go into the ALT text on these images to learn more about the individual signs, and to see transcriptions of those in #palimpsest with multiple layers of text.

These descriptive texts are taken from my digital walks: ghostsigns.co.uk/tours

#StokeNewington #N16

Fading painted sign on a yellow-brick wall with incomplete text as follows with [missing parts in square brackets]: "[Hurst]leigh's, [Da]ren, [the best] brown bread" Here's more about the sign: The surviving portion of this sign was saved from sandblasting by a mounted board. This was removed in around 2010 and what we see today has faded noticeably since being exposed again. This sign is what’s known as a privilege. This economic model is a mutually beneficial relationship between a manufacturer and a retailer. In this case the manufacturer was Daren flour, and the retailer was William Hurstleigh’s bakery. Daren paid for the sign, and so their logotype is much bigger, while Hurstleigh contributed the wall. A common form of contemporary privileges can often be seen on newsagent shopfronts where the shop name is flanked by newspaper or confectionery logos. Hurstleigh’s was here for about 50 years from 1890 and so the precise date of the sign is difficult to determine. However, a good guess would be some time in the 1920s or 1930s given the fierce competition between Daren and Hovis at that time. Hovis also made extensive use of privilege signs and we have a whole chapter dedicated to Hovis and Daren’s London bakeries in the book Ghost Signs: A London Story.Multi-layered fading painted signs set across various panels on a brick wall. The following are these layers transcribed. Top Cakebread, Robey & Co. Ltd Builders Merchants & Ironmongers Left Stained Glass Windows, Leaded Lights, Glass, Lead, Oils, Colours, Varnishes Lead, Glass, Oil, Colours & Varnishes Right Stoves, Baths, Lavatories, Sanitary Fittings, Locks & Fastenings Stoves, Ranges, Baths, Closets & Lavatories Bottom Also at Wood Green, Ilford, Tottenham, Harrow & Dalston Here's more about the wall: The Cakebread, Robey & Co. builders merchants were founded in 1882 by George Cakebread and Arthur Robey. They remained in Stoke Newington until 1965, but from 1914 their manufacturing took place at the Caroba Works on Wood Green High Road. The business was wound up in 2000, with the assets acquired by Neville Lumb and then Saint-Gobain. The company made a name for itself producing stained and etched windows and mirrors. These survive in pubs and churches around the UK, and as far afield as Barbados. A relatively local example can be found in the well-preserved stained glasswork at the Salisbury Hotel pub on Green Lanes. There are at least three layers of signage on this wall, creating a palimpsest that represents the development of the business. Each repainting added new products, necessitating smaller letters to fit them in. For each iteration a whitewash or primer was used to cover the older sign, and these are now fading to reveal earlier layers.Two layers of fading painted signage on a stucco panel towards the top of a brick wall. They advertised John Hawkins & Sons Ltd and Steele's with the following copy. John Hawkins & Sons Ltd Cotton Spinners & Manufacturers Preston, Lancashire Steele’s Plate & Sheet Glass Merchants & Manufacturers Phone CLIS 1122/3 and CLI 2000 Chaney, CLI 6202 Here's more about the signs. This wall was much more prominent before the upward extension of the building in front of it. It was painted on a special flat render and positioned for southbound traffic on what is now a one-way street heading north. Of the two signs now in palimpsest, the most prominent is the older cursive lettering for John Hawkins & Sons, with the more recent Steele’s sign less visible. Cotton manufacturer John Hawkins was a major northern industrialist, hated by his workers and involved in the suppression of strike action in the 1840s in which four people were shot dead. The business continued after his own death 1873, and expanded domestically in the 1920s to offset losses due to the Indian boycott of British cotton goods. It opened here in 1926 and remained until the outbreak of the Second World War. The premises were then taken over by Steele’s, plate- and sheet-glass merchants and manufacturers, who traded here until the end of the 1940s.
