Over this Hallowe'en weekend, Historic England is looking for so-called ghost still to be found on buildings across England and send them in for an online map.

Ghost signs are typically hand-painted advertising signs or old shop signs from the late 19th or early to mid-20th centuries preserved on buildings that have since changed use. And as you see Frome has some beauties.

 Details of how to upload images of ghost signs can be found at Historic England. People can also post photographs on Instagram using the hashtag #PicturingHighStreets and tagging @PicturingHighStreets.

You can send your photos until 31 October.
