Glasgow ghost sign shows forgotten army surplus store

A ghost sign from a popular post-war outlet in Glasgow has been spotted by a local man, on a building which many will recognise as one of the city's most popular record stores.

Norry Wilson, who runs the Lost Glasgow Facebook group, posted pictures of the decades-old ghost sign. The building at 232 Battlefield Road had a previous life as an Army and Navy store - as the sign reads. More recently, it had been occupied by Ihnen Electronics until they closed up shop a couple of weeks ago.

Army and Navy (A&N) stores spread across the country in post-war years, selling surplus kit such as overalls, heavy trousers and boots.
