Latest batch of ghost signs from around Melbourne

But first...a reconstructed larder from the house in the pioneer village at Bundoora Park, featuring the everyday products you'd see advertised on walls:

And now for the signs.

City

City - not a ghost sign...but good advice

Brunswick

Coburg

Coburg

Carlton. Traces of Robur Tea sign...that won't be around for much longer.

North Carlton, in back lane.

North Carlton

North Carlton. Sorry about the finger.

Brunswick

Brunswick....under construction.

Brunswick - Union Street Coke sign

And next door - the famous Brunswick sign everyone snaps.

On the same building as the Tarax sign

On the same building...once was a sign.

The entire thing.

And across the road...pub.

And a little down the street.

And a little further along.

Brunswick - business is still going, but the sign rocks enough to include.

But what's that on the side of the plumbing yard above...looks like more traces of Robur Tea.

Brunswick - Gilmour's Milk (see earlier post about another Gilmour's sign..revealed on milk bar awning around the corner from this one).

Correctly.

Footscray - taken from car on railway underpass.

Footscray - the ghost sign equivalent of a striptease.

Footscray - first Vietnamese ghost sign I've seen.

Ghost signs in city laneways

Today on the way from one city meeting to another, I managed a wander around the laneways around Little Bourke and Little Collins Streets, plus other bits of the city. Had never realised how many good lanes there are off Little Bourke Street between Elizabeth and Queen Streets.

But first, the logo for the to-be-built Zest apartments in Carlton. Inspired by....?

And now for the laneway pics - as well as some around the corner from laneways:

A storage cupboard for the former Brash's music?

look closely

the original...

a new sign in an old style

the hotel's still there but not the opening hours...

the old and the new

have posted this uncovered cluster before, but worth posting again
