A lovely old advertisement on the side of an apartment block, formerly a lead works, in Dulcie St. The company of HA Howard & Sons can be traced back to the 1940s. My further research indicates that Gileric were a label of their day, making dresses and tunics from the 1940s to the 1960s, possibly even earlier. Are any vintage clothes aficionados able to help me out here?
I like a lot these bricks and I agree with your the advertisement is beautiful!

Excellent! Wonderful shot Chrissy.
ReplyDeleteIt's great some of those old signs are still around! Good shot!
ReplyDeleteSorry, never heard of them, but fashion is not big on my list of things. I do love these old signs, I cannot think of one that I have seen here in Leeds.
ReplyDeleteI have seen such painted signs myself - but they are rapidly beeing painted over - the explanation being that they are of 'no interest'.
ReplyDeleteIt's great in a way that you are acting as a kind of official recorder of these disapearing elements...
What a fantastic ghost sign
ReplyDeleteBrilliant vintage sign Chrissy, it's in excellent condition too, great find!
