Ghost sign for 'Gamble' on Melton Road in Syston, 2021.
No full textGhost sign for 'Gamble', a potential shoe dealer. The sign is severely deteriorated, so the lettering is difficult to make out. 'Gamble', 'Quality Value' and 'Shoes' are just a few of the words still visible. There were several boot and shoe manufacturers of the name Gamble located in Leicester, so this sign may belong to one of them, including John Gamble Ltd. or B. Gamble Ltd. John Gamble Ltd. has a ghost sign in our collection. Between 2009 and 2010, the sign was covered by a modern poster sign, and while the modern sign has changed over time, the ghost sign remains covered

Thomas Gamble Papers
No full textThe Papers of the Rev. Thomas Gamble (1856 – 1931) at Cory Library
Born in England in 1856, Thomas Gamble took a three year course at Harley House, a school for the training of missionaries, before coming to Cape Town in 1879 aged 23. He realised that he needed to learn Dutch to become a successful missionary and supported himself by working as a teacher whilst taking Dutch lessons. He also spent three months on a farm in order to perfect his knowledge of the language. (His papers bear testimony to his proficiency in the language). He was invited to become the minister in Heidelberg (Cape) and was ordained as minister there under the London Missionary Society.
After spending thirteen years in Heidelberg, Rev. Gamble came to Uitenhage in 1897, where he ministered to the Rose Lane Congregational Church for the rest of his life. He undertook many travels throughout the world to attend Church gatherings. Rev. Gamble’s tours included trips to the Holy Land, Europe, the United States and Canada. In 1920 he went to Japan as a delegate to the World’s Convention of Sunday Schools in Tokyo. His last overseas trip in 1928 was to a Sunday School Convention in Los Angeles.
The Congregational Union of South Africa elected him as its Chairman in 1913, and he visited many churches in the Union. (Giving Magic Lantern Slide lectures of his travels, he raised funds for the Congregational Union. The Collection at Cory Library includes some of the Lantern Slides used by Rev. Gamble)
Rev. Gamble died aged 75 on Monday 22 June 1931. His name lives on as there is a suburb in Uitenhage named after him. The collection includes original manuscripts by Rev. Gamble, research for his sermons and various lectures and talks, as well as miscellaneous correspondence
