Looking north up Gaol Road
The gable wall on the other side of the road has a rather good example of a ghost sign advertisement. The words "Wills's Gold Flake Cigarettes" are obviously most prominent, but the older wording at the top also has the words "tobacco" and "tobacconists" in it, which suggests there may have been such a business in the premises for quite a while some years ago.
