Here are some ghost signs I photographed today in Hawthorn East. I spotted them last Sunday when Luke and I were out and about, but I didn't have my proper camera, so I got him to take me back this afternoon.
All are within a 100 metre stretch near the Burwood and Camberwell Road intersection, and they all look as if they've been uncovered by construction works.
Hard to decipher - a two in one?
Wridgway B (Auburn) Ltd
Dunno what the WB. 1234 means
Champion spark plugs
I have loads of photos of other old signs I took while I wasn't blogging, so I will endeavour to post them and remember where I took them (obviously I haven't got around to creating that dedicated ghost sign blog...).

Wridgway was a removal company. WB would have been a phone number locality code, as phone numbers had in the sixties and before.
Our Fading Past is soon to go onine with a new look and functionality and chockers with old signs.
Love the signs.
