Ghost Ads

[Midland Red]

There are still a number of ghost ads around the city - ads that were painted onto the side of buildings
There's one in Lower Holyhead Road and I know of at least three along Foleshill Road
One of them is partially hidden by a modern advert and a drain pipe, and I wondered if anyone could actually identify the name of the business

I think that one is "Premier Fashions"?

For many years there was an advert for Hanson's Pianos near the bottom of Hertford Street which was only recently painted over by a building society of all people you think would know better?

I never noticed the one in Lower Holyhead Road before as I normally look up the road rather than down it.

Thanks Dutchman
Couldn't get "Premier" to fit
So I tried a number of possible combinations and came up with "Isher Fashions" which seems to be the answer

Took a quick look this afternoon, I think the name is Asher Fashions.

There are quite a lot of these ads along the Foleshill road. Interesting subject.

The idea seems to be all the rage at the moment?

Saw this new one in the Holyhead Road this evening:

Not the real McCoy, tho', is it ?

Same one in Cox Street and also Gulson Road - at least

Of course not but it made me smile seeing it so soon after your original post

This is a fascinating subject. We take these ads for granted - but I'm gonna start looking more closely at the sides of buildings now!
