Ghost Signs of Vauxhall
Ariel Writers Ghost Sign Vauxhall
It had been a bit of a long day at work so I decided to to take a short after hours train ride to Vauxhall. I find the collage of architecture there really soothing and it’s very close to the river which I love to stroll along. Whilst I was there I found two pieces of ghost signage. One for Ariel Writers – leaders in design, apparently. And one for a bakery that sells wedding cakes and Daren bread (used to be a competitor to Hovis).

The Ariel one is looking more faded than when I got my own photos a few years back. You might be interested in some of this background research and some even earlier photos: http://www.ghostsigns.co.uk/tag/ariel
It has definitely faded since then. Although I do love them no matter how faded they are. Thanks so much for that link. Very interesting reading and viewing.
Forgot to add that the sign also appeared in Time Out back in 2006:

Really pleased to see that you are getting published in magazines and sites about Ghost Signs. I think it’s really important that as many people know about them as possible…I want to see them preserved (not re-painted) but preserved.
