Melbourne History Talk: Ghost Signs of Melbourne

In this talk, author and historian Sean Reynolds takes audiences on a journey through the ghost signs of Melbourne’s Hoddle Grid - those old, weathered commercial advertisements that still cling to the sides of buildings. These signs are more than nostalgic curiosities: they are fragments of social memory.

Sean Reynolds is a Melbourne-based author, historian, and creator of Melbourne Ghost Signs. His work blends archival research with storytelling to uncover the hidden lives behind the city’s fading painted advertisements.

Bookings open on Thursday 5 February.
