According to Ghost Signs: A London Story by Sam Roberts "David Levy ran his lodging house here between about 1905 and 1917. The sign represents a time when women made up a large proportion of the workforce, but had difficulty in securing housing. Records of the 'hotel' show that thirty women occupied ten rooms in a mixture of cubicles and dormitory accommodation. These women were employed in a variety of trades, including a piano teacher, a necktie maker and a newspaper seller."
