Maitland Historical Society

The February 2012 issue of the Bulletin of the Maitland & District Historical Society is now available at the Society's website.
This issue sees the commencement of a series on "Ghost Signs":

Partial signs or faint, faded  ‘ghost’ signs on old buildings can be intriguing – what does the sign say? What does the sign mean? To what purposes has this building been put?
Historical Society members have identified a number of ‘ghost signs’ that will be reproduced in the Bulletin over future issues.
To launch this series, we are featuring a building at Gillies Street, Rutherford , as well as a High Street building.
Check the Bulletin for images and to provide feedback on the mysteries.
