I'll post a new thread about this because not everyone will check out the Ghost sign thread.The B.B.C one show went around Leeds tonight doing a feature on the old painted Ghost signs. Most of the well know ones were on, Even the guy who actually painted the Tetley sign near the Compton in 1965. It was compiled by a guy on flickr who runs the Ghost sign group called Sam Roberts. We all submit the pics and Geograpgh them nationwide. He's building up a pretty comprehensive list and data base of all the survivors.I guess Leeds was chosen for the programme because there's some good quality ones out there. The 'Larkspur' add at Drig was quoted as been 'one of the best in Yorkshire' The blog it's mentioned on is herehttp://www.ghostsigns.co.uk/blogThere should be a link to the One show where it was on there (but not yet available when i looked) Perhaps if anyone knows a link were we can watch the repeat again would be good.There's also a few vids compiled about the ghost signs in the U.K at the bottom of the blog too.
