Cheers LeeRatBag, that explains it being preserved. I've seen a few now that have emerged from behind billboards, then disappeared again. There's a great Tetley huntsman at the bottom end of Woodsley Road (actually on Westfield Road) that is now covered again.
On thinking it through there are probably clauses in the leases of these buildings that allow advertising on the walls. It makes you wonder what else lies behind other billboards. I'm sure there must be some real treasures hidden away still.

Skeltons Butchers on Armley Town St has quite a nice old-style painted sign on the side of the building, a bit flaky but very traditional looking.
There's a genuine old one just up the road on the west side of Wortley Road, I spotted it today when being driven along Town St, but wasn't close enough to read what it says. There's remnants of a few others in the area too, I'll have to get out with the camera at some point.

I captured the sign on Wortley Road this evening, it can be seen at http://www.flickr.com/photos/82906764@N00/472611177/
'Philips and Son Plumbers' is all I can make out. Can you get the rest of it?

I love these old signs but Its getting more and more difficult to find ones that haven't already been nabbed by Phill d or Rikj!!!
Anyway here's a nice simple one - does exactly what it says on the tin (its above a chinese now though) |
I got this one too. It's near the Becketts pub Meanwood.. I haven't decided if i'm going to use it yet. It borders on interestingness. I've a load like that....

| There was a leaflet drop advertising the Regent cinema but because the area was densley populated by back to back houses the sign was painted on the roof for the pilot to identify it. |
We went there to get our tiles for the bathroom when we redid it. It still looks ermarkably like a cinema inside, you can even get up on the circle, and it's even more apparent from up there......

Hi Drapsey. I can't remeber the exact street. I was up Burley. I think it's deffinately the mecca up there for old painted signs. It was off Cardigan road probably Mayvilles/Harlods there's numerous ones in the back streets.
