Not one, but two ghostsigns appear on top of a news agent and tell a story from the past

Thanks to the help of Stirchley News and their reader Michael Humphreys I found out this week, that Lilliput was a risqué magazine in the 1930's and 40's and Housewife was a magazine for women. Both signs are located above a current shop in Stirchley, which has been a newsagent for around eight years.
