Advertising ghosts reappear in Sydney as buildings come down

Sydney

HISTORIC adverts are re-emerging on the side of Sydney buildings to offer a brief window into the city's past, with old paintings exposed as neighbouring structures are pulled down.

Old banners from well-known Australian brands dating back to the 19th and early 20th centuries have reappeared, including Peters Ice Cream, offering a romantic reminder for those who can remember them in their heyday.
