Hi Jane,
That's it! I finally managed to identify what's advertised on this wall: Creamed Barley, produced by George Clark & Son Limited. More at:

Thanks Seb. I haven't been able to come up with anything so far either... I sent an email to the Museum of Brands and Advertising but have had no response. Perhaps HAT might know... A friend thinks it may be a box of Matzos but I think it's more likely to be oats of a kind.
The quest goes on...

There is quite a collection along (and around) Camden High Street indeed. I took some pictures of the sign above Mornigton Crescent station two years ago but didn't manage to identify the product in spite of the distinctive design of the box. Looking at old ads and packages of corn flakes, porridge and the like didn't give any result. Actually I was just about to post it on my blog and ask people for suggestions... Frustrating!

Nice collection, I remember when I started out spotting ghostsigns me and my girlfriend came round the corner from Camden Road left onto Camden High Street. One of us spotted the Boots sign and then almost immediately the other saw the Miller, Beale & Hider sign which doesn't make it onto your collection here because it's not on the high street. All very exciting stuff in a train-spotter-type way.
