Mystery ‘vote’ sign baffles Littlehampton shop owner

When Andrew Sleeman, owner of Spokes cycle shop, in Beach Road, took down the fascia above his display windows, in preparation for putting up a new sign, he was surprised to see a 12ft long poster underneath, with the slogan “Vote for Talbot”.

“I’m intrigued by it,” admitted Andrew. “It must have been there 40-odd years, maybe more. I’ve searched on the internet for clues about this Talbot person, but there is absolutely nothing.”
