Ghostsigns (Sam Roberts)In the summer of 2014, paint was stripped away on this building in Whistable, Kent, to reveal a trio of well-preserved painted signs for the Will's tobacco manufacturers. In the subsequent repainting of the wall, the owners flouted tobacco advertising rules and wisely kept the signs visible.<br> <br> This panel is the best preserved of the three, and features the signature of the signwriter that produced the work: Neale Blackman. I've not found anything about him in the few Kent street directories that I have on file.<br> <br> Will's "Flag"<br> Empire Blend Cigarettes<br> <br> Neale Blackman Signs<br> <br> Argyle Road, Whitstable, Kent, at the junction with High Street and Oxford Street<br> <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/Y6TG6i8uzjbnHmP5A" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://maps.app.goo.gl/Y6TG6i8uzjbnHmP5A</a><br> <br> Photo: Neal Lankester<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ghostsigns?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ghostsigns</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ghostsign?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ghostsign</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/tobacco?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tobacco</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cigarettes?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cigarettes</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/wills?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wills</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/whitstable?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#whitstable</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/kent?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#kent</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cigarettes?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cigarettes</a>
