James Ashby & Sons (Rose Brand Fine Teas)

James Ashby & Sons, Union Street, SE1

Rachel at Jerwood Space recently told me that the building at 195-205 Union Street is currently awaiting final confirmation of its demolition and development. It may not be long before the building and its little piece of ghost sign history is lost forever so I got down there today to get these pictures.

One of the best things that has happened since setting up this blog is people sending me Ghost Sign related materials from around the world. The most interesting of these are when the signs have been used as a springboard for artistic and other creative activities.

Colossal Media Update


I've written lots about Colossal Media in the past but a visit to their website today revealed a whole load of new content

Video Projections

NB. Can take a while to load, you may want to look at the 'normal quality' version directly on YouTube.


There's some pretty cool stuff going on in this showreel from easyweb.fr, a french company doing video light projections onto buildings.
