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.

First ghost sign from the town where I grew up - thank you Karen
Thank you to Karen, former classmate from Whyalla Town Primary School, for letting me post her brilliant pics of the equally brilliant former Gulf Aviation Service shed, located next to what is now the Whyalla wetlands:
