Hi Listers, I have found on Naairs an entry for someone I am hoping is an ancestor of mine, E M LACEY. The entry is something to do with an illuminated sign over the public footway at 117 Longmarket Street Cape Town. I would like to know if the building is still there or if it has been demolished, rebuilt etc. More of a long shot, does anyone know what was there in the 1900 - 1940? Any help would be appreciated. Regards Paul
