Take a photographic journey into Gloucester's often overlooked
advertising history and see how the city's businesses of old made
use of hand-made signs to inform, advertise and appeal to
consumers. This intriguing book profiles hand-painted advertising
from across the city and investigates the companies that
commissioned the signs that now appear faded - like ghosts - on the
brickwork of buildings. It is a snapshot of a time that is almost
forgotten but which lives on through the sometimes haunting
presence of ghost signs on the city's streets. Richly illustrated
with 150 full colour photographs, this collection reveals the many
products advertised, including food and drink; alcohol and tobacco;
shoes and clothing, as well as Gloucester's varied industries and
businesses. Fading Ads of Gloucester is a must for all local
historians.
