As you know by the strapline under the header on this site shows that I am all about little historical details still visible on today's streets.One of my guided walks, shown right, brings together all of these things and, as such, is a kind of potted version of this site. The walk covers old signage, ironmongery, hand-painted advertising on walls, carved reliefs, pubs, shops, name changes, logos and branding in the Upper Holloway, N19, area.
I also have a couple of other walks that are about ghostly signs of the past in Lower Holloway and around the southern half of Upper Street and these are mostly about the hand-painted ads on walls type known as ghostsigns.

If you'd like to join me on a walk sometime, all info is here on Jane's London or for more detailed descriptions of the individual walks and how to book go directly to Eventbrite.
