Melbourne History Talk: Ghost signs of Melbourne
About
What can a fading ad on a brick wall reveal about a city? Quite a lot.In this talk, author and historian Sean Reynolds takes audiences on a journey through the ghost signs of Melbourne’s Hoddle Grid—those old, weathered commercial advertisements that still cling to the sides of buildings. These signs are more than nostalgic curiosities: they are fragments of social memory.
Sean Reynolds is a Melbourne-based author, historian, and creator of Melbourne Ghost Signs. His work blends archival research with storytelling to uncover the hidden lives behind the city’s fading painted advertisements.
