@re-dracula how dare you conjure up such vivid imagery that I sat on a London bus visibly cringing at Mrs Westenra's dying noises while the lady next to me inched away nervously

October is a month when Blossomforth goes to look at ghost signs!
Ghost signs (or ghost adverts) are old signs, often hand painted, on buildings. The products they are advertising often don’t exist any more.
This cigarette advert is on Brixton Road, in London, England.
(It’s very faded, but the top part states : For your throat’s sake - smoke. Back when smoking was considered a healthy activity!)

Looking back now, it almost seems as though everything happened at once. In a decade dominated by youth, London had burst into bloom. It was swinging, and it was the scene. The Union Jack suddenly became as ubiquitous as the black cab or the red Routemaster bus, and all became icons of the city...Quite simply, London was where it was at. Fuelled by growing prosperity, social mobility, post-war optimism and wave after wave of youthful enterprise, the city captured the imagination of the world’s media. Here was the centre of the sexual revolution – the pill had been introduced in 1961 – the musical revolution, the sartorial revolution. London was a veritable cauldron of benign revolt.
- Dylan Jones
