This house on Lord Mayors Walk can be seen from the city walls. The advertising slogan has been there a long time and has outlasted the product which I have never seen on sale anywhere. During the 1960s the advert had started to become very faint and was repainted during the 1970s as far as I remember. It is a favourite subject with many photographers and artists. Probably one of the best renditions was a series of prints done by York artist Baz Ward. His painting has one the old red Post Office Telephone boxes in it which shows how long ago he did the original painting.
