Ghost Sign, 54 Upper Tooting Road, SW17

This beauticians shop sits on the corner of Beechcroft Road. A faint 'ghost sign' is visible at first-floor level which seems to read 'Uphols[tery] Repair' and suggests that a furniture repair firm occupied the shop, probably in the early 20th-century. The wall to the left of the sign, on the Beechcroft Road side, once had a street name sign and a sign with an arrow pointing up the hill to what was then St Peter's Presbyterian Church. The street sign is now near the black side-door. The church sign went many years ago. Photographed in October 2014, the view is looking roughly north.
