Signs of old leodis

It's doing my posture a world of good walking around looking at walls above shops and gable ends! It's surprising how many you see when you look hard enough. I've seen plenty of faded or painted out rectangles where signs once were but nothing discernable remains.

It's good to get looking... Early morning wk ends are best. I HATE town with people in it. It's suprising how much you see when you lift up your head & stop rushing about..... We look at other city's but never our own...

I think the sign you're thinking of Phill says ' Bay Horse - Molineux Ales' - I'll get a picture of it next time Im in town myself. The Bull and Mouth was further down Briggate , and disappeared a long time ago I believe (100 years plus) -

The fabled Turog bread. Hovis's main rival for many years and produced on a similar 'licensed' basis by small bakeries.

A wonderful Mosaic sign - I think the building it is attached to used to be a 'Huntley and Palmer's' depot and this is their old badge - but I stand to be corrected

The counterpart to the above - these are fantastic pieces of work.

Hi Drapesy that turog sign you posted Dewsbury road by any chance?? Many a "penny loaf" (tiny Turog miniture loaves) had out of that place long ago!!

Spotted on Easy Road (Cross Green/EEP) on the corner of May Terrace during my reconnaissance of the Waterloo Colliery Railway earlier today.I've spotted two more on my travels today but not taken pictures as I was driving. One on Meanwood Road on the southern end of the row of shops after the Junction with Cambridge Road (on the front of the shop) and another on the Hyde Park corner end of Victoria Road. I didn't get a good look, they were pretty faded. You may already have them.
