NOT the Teley's sign, but where the mural is now, there used to be a very well known brand and picture there. What brand and what was the picture?

If that's your real photo,you stand a good chance!You needlegs right up to your armpits for that job, of course!I could 'Splice a mean Mainbrace' in my day! (daydreamin' agen!).I Actually once 'fell' for a chorus girl who was in panto at the Leeds Theatre Royal, (1948?)She did audition for the Tiller Girls but I never found out if she was successful cos I was 'Posted ' overseas and it was 'On with the New' time again!Hey ho! Wonder if Simon has got the mural answer yet?Arry
