The advertising signs seen fixed to the fencing are typical of the type found on the railways of Britain. With the exception of the advert for Palethorpes sausages, they are enamel signs designed to be rigid and robust so they could be employed in a variety of environments. The Palethorpes advert was paper and pasted on a posterboard. Virol was the trade name for a vitamin preparation based on malt extract. Camp Coffee is a glutinous brown substance which consists of water, sugar, 4% coffee essence, and 26% chicory essence. This is generally used as a substitute for coffee, by mixing with warm milk in much the same way as cocoa or added to cold milk and ice to make an iced coffee. Today it is commonly found on baking aisles in supermarkets as it is also used as an ingredient in coffee cake and other confectionery.
