Now here is one of those little questions which I don’t readily have the answer to.
We are on Keppel Road with Andy Robertson’s picture and both of us have been wondering when it appeared.
Of course someone will know but it it just isn't me.
It may have been part of that last bit of promotion for Burts’ the outfitters who had a makeover a few years ago involving a television programme.
They had been on the corner of Wilbraham and Keppel Road for the sale of Gentleman’s clothes, including ties, suits and shirts by 1909 and owned another family business opposite selling stationary and postcards.
If the painting dates from that makeover we might just be able to call it a ghost sign.
Either way it is beginning to peel and I doubt that it will be with us for much longer.
