I've walked up and down allcock street and surrounding area a few times, not seen any ghost signs. Just looked around on Google street view. Maybe I'll have another look.frothy may know maurice as he has an interest in allcock street failing that we could do a street walk to see what we can find

if you go down allcock st and turn into hack st there are a couple there..hack st is so tiny although i have an idea it may have been bigger

Photo 7 I think I can make out the word Plate!View attachment 126734 To follow the gilders ghost sign on the Great Hampton Street building next but one to the Gothic.
Bottom left says. Home and Export
Top left possibly Mandra Gilders
Middle Speciality Cased Goods
At the very top not sure but think it says..something and Co or Gilders Co
Other eyes and views/interpretations welcome!
Might it be 'plate and traditional cased goods'?Photo 7 I think I can make out the word Plate!
Could be. I am beginning to think that there may be some overwriting of a previous sign that has been revealed through weather erosion. Will take another closer look tomorrow.Might it be 'plate and traditional cased goods'?
Yep I’ve been down there for a good half hour and what I thought said mandra gilders is quite rightly manufactures. And below it is speciality cased goodsGreat photos Brian, I have cut the one photo down, I think maybe the T shaped part may say
"Manufacture "
"Specialist"
"case"
"Goods"View attachment 126763
