While doing some digital housecleaning today, I realised that there are quite a few photos of signs that I haven't got around to posting yet. So here they are:
 |
| Sydney Road, Coburg |
 |
| Also Sydney Road, Coburg |
 |
| Ghost sign expert Sam Roberts and the Coburg ghost sign (this was during our Melbourne sign tour) |
 |
| Carlton: advertises a former school |
 |
| North Fitzroy |
 |
| Footscray |
 |
| Kensington |
 |
| Footscray, banks of the river |
 |
| Flemington |
 |
| South Melbourne (had taken a pic of this one previously, but at night) |
 |
| As above |
 |
| North Melbourne |
 |
| North Melbourne - back lane |
 |
| Elizabeth Street, city - long-time motorcycle sales district |
 |
| City - literally a ghost sign (it's the Victorian Spiritualist Union hq) and not a ghost sign (they still reside there) |
 |
| City - had snapped this one before, but from a distance due to building works |
 |
| City |
 |
| City - Russell Street |
 |
| City - Flinders Street. Just a cobalt blue hint of what used to be there. |
 |
| North Melbourne |
 |
| Fitzroy |
 |
| Carlton - Robur Tea sign |
 |
| Kensington - river bank |
 |
| One of the famous MacRobertson Sweets complex of 13 buildings in Fitzroy that used to be known as 'White City': they were painted white and all the thousands of employees wore white. The complex was topped by a huge neon sign. Founder and expert marketer Macpherson Robertson used to get around in white in a carriage pulled by two white horses. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macpherson_Robertson. |
 |
| Now where was that? |
