Stoke Newington Ghostsigns TOUR – Dec 1st 2013 5th Jan & 2nd Feb 2014
This walking tour through Stoke Newington’s historic conservation area features some of London’s best ghostsigns (fading advertisements painted on walls) as well as many other points of interest. These include a Banksy survivor, a lethal alleyway and a pint in the pub to finish it all off. The signs are used to explore local, advertising, craft and design history, aided by additional photographic resources shared en route.After the tour you will start to spot ghostsigns everywhere you go with a heightened appreciation of their history and place in the contemporary urban streetscape. While photos are useful for documenting ghostsigns before they are lost, nothing compares to seeing them ‘in the flesh’. This tour includes some of London’s best examples, the stories behind them, and an introduction to the topic in more general terms.Tickets and more details here… http://www.ghostsigns.co.uk/tours“
