In February 2012 I stumbled upon a trove of company documents from the 1940s and 1950s at a demolition site in Footscray, Melbourne. Here I tell the stories associated with those documents: the records of signwriting company Lewis & Skinner, and the tattered books of correspondence connected with writer Morris West and the radio serial company he started and ran, Australasian Radio Productions. Plus the more general exploration of 'ghost signs' that my discovery has sparked.

Geoff's Shepparton discoveries
We now have a ghost sign scout in northern Victoria - thanks Geoff! Geoff has already snapped a couple in Shepparton, and is using Facebook to gather local intelligence about other signs in the area :)
