The Ghostliest of Ghost Signs
On a wall in Finkin Street, Grantham, is this memory of the second world war.
It was clearer when I first spotted it 50 years ago, but I have just got around to photographing it. It says "The W.V.S. Refreshment Rooms". There has been some speculation about where they actually were, but during the first world war Sarah Thompson operated a cafe called "the Refreshment Rooms" at 13 Finkin Street - the other end of the street on the corner with Elmer street. I suspect that is the place.
The WVS Originally founded in 1938 as the Women’s Voluntary Services for Air Raid Precautions. in 1966 it became the WRVS, the Women’s Royal Voluntary Service. Since 2013 they have been known as Royal Voluntary Service.
