Ghost Signs
I came across this great video on the web, talking about the dying craft of hand painted signs. As much as possible here in Britomart we like to use that method and carry on the tradition. Below are some cool remnants of old signs, or ghost signs, that can be seen around Britomart, a historic photo of Britomart signs in their original state, and some of our more recent hand painted work.
