Ghost sign, Hampstead NW, London, England

            A ghost sign on the gable of an old building in Heath Street (just before it turns into Fitzjohn's Avenue), on the corner of Church Row, Hampstead NW, north London. This sign has obviously been renewed at some point, as the blue lettering is quite legible by daylight, when you are actually looking at the sign in real life.

The lettering says:

Established 1746
Chas B
King
Estate
Agent
Decorator
Gas
Hot Water
and
Sanitary
Engineer

Rather an interesting, oddly assorted range of skills he had, Mr Charles B. King of long ago!
