This faded ghost sign is on the gable end of what is now Lloyd's Pharmacy on Melbourne Street Image that overlooks the River Tame. The shop was established in 1847. By the 1930s it had become Burgon's High Class Grocers. It was a chain of grocers and most of the ghost sign refers to various tea blends.
