Thread: Parkers Fine Ale, Shelton, SoT

Hidden away in the back streets is this ad from the Parker's Brewery, founded in 1860 & taken over by a larger rival in 1949.

What a great find, oildrum. I wonder if the museum in Hanley would be interested in putting on a photo display of the ghost ads we've found in the city?

from my experiences of the staff at the Potteries Museum it would be a better if we attempted to somehow save them from further deterioration. Have spotted one to photograph in Fenton but its in poor condition, hopefully post soonish.

There's a very long one along the side of a building on King Street as you go towards Longton. I can't work out how to photograph it effectively

is it on the left or right hand side going towards Longton?

Right-hand side. There's a big yard and the ad is on the left as you enter the yard

The one I'm after is on the left, but I've spotted another on the right which may be the one you mention. Hoping to take a few pics of both tomorrow (weather permitting )
