As you may know, `ghost signs` are the remains of old hand-painted signs on buildings drawing the attention of passers-by to a business that either occupied that building or could be found nearby. Naturally, the businesses usually no longer exist but the sign has outlived them, at least for now.
Walk from Nottingham city centre through Hockley towards Sneinton and you will find this advertisement for `Benleys`, purveyors of furniture, carpets and women`s and children`s clothing.
Judging by the size of the building I would say it was a substantial enterprise, possibly quite up-market in it`s day.
As yet we`ve not been able to find out anything about it. Perhaps others can help ?
