Ghost Signs of Glasgow: City Centre Trail
We are an exciting heritage project which tracks down, researches and archives fast disappearing signs around the city. Ghost Signs are vital to the fabric of Glasgow’s urban landscape, they are fading signs that represent a business or establishment that no longer exists. We have been building an archive that will help us better understand the economic, architectural, social and cultural atmosphere of the Glasgow to which these signs belong and share it with you! We have developed tours and maps spanning the city, to showcase the fascinating stories we have unearthed.
