Twenty-two years after we started this website, there are still secrets to be found. Mandy Gaylard spotted this faded trade sign from a car; it was originally painted high up on the side wall of 861 Woodbridge Road, on the western corner with Jupiter Road. So it was designed to catch the eye of the travellerheading from the east of the town towards the centre down Woodbridge Road.

The lettering on a white rectangular background, appears to be painted in red – unless
its faded to a brick-red from the original black, perhaps. 'Edward
Beck' is in large and small caps, so 'Decorator' is probably similar,
although the first part of the word is degraded with brickwork showing
through. Luckily the metal support for the television aerial does not
obscure anything.
