Today I've dived back into an earlier rabbit hole to investigate the renowned Gawthorp sign firm that was based in Leeds from around 1889–1916.
If anyone knows anything about them and/or these patent 'panorama' railway arrival and departure indicators, then do let me know.
The advertisment pictured appeared in The Railway Times on 16 September 1905.
