Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
194, Philip Lane Ghost Sign 1
This is the new Hochima Viet restaurant that has replaced the previous 'chinese' noodle restaurant - same family but now true to origins. Look at what they have uncovered under the sign whilst awaiting the new signage!

It seems like W Andrews was a pork butcher. Due to incompleteness of records, the only dates I can place him there are between 1922 and 1926. He was probably there somewhat earlier and later.
Kelly's 1922
I have been able to find the earlier occupant between at least 1903 to 1915.

Thanks.
I also submitted a pix showing a close up of where the lettering was previously cut out leaving the numerals, supposedly to change the trading name.
Let's hope that Hochima installs a sympathetic sign - this is in the Clyde Circus Conservation Area and Myers at no. 190 across Dongola Rd is due to get a sympathetic makeover if their scheme gets planning permsission.

Perhaps the original sign was put up by Wieland and adapted by Andrews.

What a difference the sunshine and blue sky make.
I really hope that Hochima does this sign 'justice'.
They could put the branding for the restaurant on the security shutter thingamajig under the historic sign! Such wishful thinking....
