A building in Willes Road (B4099) displaying a 'ghost sign' - a sign-painted advertisement from earlier days. This one reads: "Willes Road cash corn and meal stores" Below that is the word "office" and a finger pointer to the arched doorway to the right. A photo on the Windows on Warwickshire website, dated ca. 1900-1909, of a motorcycle and sidecar, shows the sign in the background.
