Earlier this week, I ventured out in the biting cold armed with my camera. The enhanced images below give an idea of what's there.
It looks to me to be a company called Wa(...)s(...) and S(omebody/thing) as written in undulating U+lcase script at the top. There are also remnants of three large blue serif letters, HM(?), at the middle in bold caps and, along the bottom in a fine bold italic caps, I can make out (possibly WASH...(?) and BUTCHER. But there's lots more I can't decipher.
The directories for both 1895 and 1905 do not have anything listed against these properties except Percy Tyre & Rubber Co. Ltd. shown at 83a, which I assume to be at the rear with access at the side.
So, have you got any ideas; can you help?
The right section continues the script; for (....) advertising what this company offers/does – I believe the last word ends ...rtation(?). Underneath, in caps, I am sure it says BUTCHER |
it almost looks like it's one ghost sign on top of another one as the script type appears to be partially over the serif-ed font. It looks like a C.... then 'and' and the last image looked like T/F u -- er.
