Cole, Tottenham

Visible from far away, this gable seems to have three ghost signs painted on it, but only one is still complete.

Two ghost signs promoted Cole's business. The original version almost completely disappeared when the new one was painted. Only the nameColeis still visible, at the same level as "Hair."
On the second, more elaborate version of Cole's sign, the letters project a red shadow. It readsCole
Hair
Cutting
Rooms
Finally, two additional lines can still be read but they appear unconnected:Naturals ... [& ?]andDealer in
Glass Shades
These can be seen more clearly on the picture below.
