Living in a Ghost Town

Today I walked to work on the other side of the road. I know, a change is as good as a rest, right? And guess what, I looked up ...

I am slightly obsessed by ghost signs. I love the Peter Ackroyd-esque psychogeographical concept of layers upon layers of local history. And I hanker back to the days of drapers and haberdashers. Tesco Extra just isn't the same.

Clearly I am not alone:
