A ghost sign on the rear of the former Biggar's Music shop at 273 Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow. Established at 163 Sauchiehall Street in 1867, it was originally known as James Biggar and Co.

Just below this impressive corner dome on 450 Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow is a faded sign for an early 1900s clothing business called Grieve Ltd, and, to me, it repesents one of the city's more unusual memorials to a life cut short by war.

By the 2000s, it was Scotland's oldest suviving music shop, but like many high street businesses, it ran into difficulties, and the original company folded in 2008.

An old cast-iron marker on a wall on Sauchiehall Lane in central Glasgow. A quick search around suggests it indicates the presence of a sewer.

Ghost Hidden by Dumpsters

Vintage signage for a popular Sioux Falls Pharmacy. I’m not certain what was here when the sign was painted. It is now partially behind a restaurant’s dumpsters.

For no particular reason, a throw back to this 2012 post on the Ghostsigns blog:

View of a portion of a brick wall that has a very faded hand-painted sign on it that reads "Vote Against Prohibition" with each word set on its own line and the block letters sized at about ten bricks tall.

I've got no idea when it dates from, but the building it's attached to was constructed in 1931. It's the first one of these I've come across in the city, but I'm sure there must be more.

Pharmacy of Yesteryear

This was a Druggist in the late 19th and early 20th century in Council Bluffs, Iowa

A black-and-white photograph of a large brick building with a weathered painted advertisement high on its side wall. The word “DRUGGIST” is clearly visible in large, faded capital letters, with other lettering beneath and to the left that has largely deteriorated. The stepped brick parapet stands against a pale sky, while decades of weathering have left the old advertisement embedded in the textured masonry.

Love this ghost sign on 307 West George Street in Glasgow, which identifies it as the former office of the wonderfully named Glasgow architect Ninian MacWhannell.

It's worth noting that if this building had been cleaned, as many others have been across Glasgow, this ghost sign would probably have been lost.

As well my my architectural calendars for 2027, I've also put one together which highlights Glasgow's many ghost signs. Ghost signs are ones that survive long after the purpose for which the were made is gone, and they give glimpses into the city's past.

Parmer Co.(Est: 1906)
This commercial building was in business from 1906-1962 and has since been private residence, apartments, and business space since then.

Walking through Abbotsford this morning after breakfast, we spotted this ghost sign for "Scrubbo Soap". Apparently it was a brand manufactured in nearby Burnley in the first half of the 20th century, now long gone.
