Ghost signs Melbourne #3 : The Lonesome Road



Ballarat Road, Footscray

It was indeed a lonesome road in the wild wild west – of Melbourne – where this offer of folk and coffee hovered above a deserted shop front. A forlorn and lonely ghost indeed.

  1. This was actually a community center in the 1950s
    Not sure why it was named "Lonesome Rd"

  2. There's another sign starting to show under the LRFCL as it slowly wears away. The only word I think I can make out is "Frosty". Drive past this building every day and totally love it.
