14 ghostly signs you've probably missed around Cork
THE INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT and hashtag #CorkGhostSigns uncovers a different side to the city of Cork that might have passed people by before.
It collects loads of photos of signage from closed businesses around Cork, and it’s just wonderful:

2. And this sign for Young Ireland Boys Wear
3. Here’s the old sign for the Mardyke Tavern on Sheares Street
4. People have been sharing their photos under the hashtag of #CorkGhostSigns as well
5. Looking down on the McKenzies entrance, Camden Quay
6. New buildings meet old-style shop fronts on Patrick’s Street
7. These wonderfully capture the essence of old shops, pubs and businesses
Whoops!

8. And there are always new ones being added
9. Hosford grocer and baker
10. And this long since closed pub
11. From an old ad for prize medal porter
12. To this traditional cobblers’ sign
