Ghost Signs - Fitzroy's Hidden History

Discover stories of Fitzroy's past, lurking on the sides of the buildings you walk by every day...

Ghost signs. You’ve probably noticed them clinging to brick walls and old buildings - faded ads with forgotten brand names and old-timey slogans. But behind every peeling letter and ghostly logo lies a story of fortunes made and lost in Melbourne’s shifting streetscape.

Join Sean Reynolds, the author and sleuth behind the book (and Instagram account!) Melbourne Ghost Signs, as he unpacks the hidden histories lurking in plain sight and the people and businesses that have left their mark on Fitzroy’s buildings.

You’ll leave with a fresh way to see the city you thought you knew.

Bookings essential.

Sean Reynolds is the author of Melbourne Ghost Signs , as well as the Melbourne Ghost Signs Instagram account, where he explores the hidden stories of the city’s past. His work focuses on storytelling at the intersection of culture, history, and social change.
