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.

Uncovering of part of a fabulous Robur Tea sign in North Carlton - for a short time only
Just got sent this by Patrick. It's on show now on the wall of 297 Lygon Street :)
Really nice script lettering on that one, colours are strong too
