It's look like it might two signs, one showing through the other now that they are wearing out. Does one of the say HOVIS ? Maybe , and perhaps the other says 'TUROG'?? certainly looks like that and it would make sense if it was a Baker's shop

I've included this in the 'Melbourne signs' thread - but I think it deserves to be shown here too - A priceless mosaic floor from The Cranmer Bank

That's the one drapesy, Bramley it is. This one must be one of the largest in Leeds but I can't really make out much of what it says. It's very difficult to get a good shot of it from anywhere, and the light is never too good. Still, it has a real "old Leeds" look about it. Smell the soot!!

I can make out the word ' engineers' near the Air-brick and at the bottom '...dguards' is presumably 'mudguards' then there,s the start of 'radiators' so presumably some old-time motor traders/repairers

Spot on !I wonder if it might have been some sort of brush works at one stage.

Too modern. I reckon it might have been some kind of club that died out after three minutes.
