I Humbly submit(ok actually I know) that this is neither an older or newer huntsman in fact it is NOT the tetley Huntsman at all - -Tetley never used the tag-line 'Huntsman Ales' for one thing.It is an almost identical logo used by a firm called Eldridge,Pope who had a brewery in Dorchester in Dorset.Sadly in 2003 they decided (like for instance Bass, Whitbread, Boddingtons etc) that Brewing was too much trouble [i.e not profitable enough] and although the company still exists they just now own pubs and hotels - and buy their beer from the multinationals.

Great work Leeds no1. Thats an original Dedposh too! Were building up a pretty good picture of his coming and goings & on closer inspection i think there is possibly a copycat serial sprayer on the loose! Notice how this one has the original dedposh inscribed? Your pic looks pretty near Argos.. Is it?

It is down the back of Basinghall Street, behind where Firefly is. There is quite a bot of other graffiti there, looks like it was done in the same ink. Can't believe the fact that I've walked down there to get to work for so long and not noticed it before. Might be worth inspecting the other stuff round it for any possible clues?

Can't help thinking he looks like some american logo I've seen. Could it be on peanuts? Can't remember but I'm sure its American.
