Quick overview Traces of Dublin's former business activities can still be seen on many buildings in the city centre, often at first floor level, such as old shop signs, lettering, logos, monograms, and even "ghost signs" where the removal of lettering has left stains on the wall. These signs were well known to Dubliners up until the 1960's, and this book will bring back happy memories of a lively and more interesting city, aided by numerous colour photographs. Besides shops, the book deals with former banks, clubs, and other organisations, where there are traces of their signs or logos.
