I was walking down Princes Street today and saw that the builders working on the former Clancy’s Bar had formed holes in the timber shopfront to partially reveal what looks like a very decorative old sign.
My guess as to the words revealed was ‘Wholesale’ and ‘Shop’.
The Guys Directory of 1916 (p. 503) notes that Edward Geary, Wine Merchant operated from 15 & 16 Princess St. – so maybe that is the ghostsign to be revealed.
I hope that Paul Montgomery retains the old sign in his redevelopment of the building.
