Ghostsigns with the Gentle Author on Spitalfields Life
I’ve recently had the pleasure of meeting the Gentle Author, creator and driver of the incredible daily posts on Spitalfields Life. We explored the routes of my North and South London Ghostsigns Tours, which have been documented on the blog (here and here). As with my public walks I enjoyed seeing the signs through another’s eyes, and below I share some of the photos that the Gentle Author captured. See more on Spitalfields Life, and come to see the signs for yourself either on a face-to-face tour, or through the new Ghostsigns Tours App.

Incidentally I notice that it isn’t currently featured in the archive […]
