Stockport : Adamsons Ghost Sign

I can’t make the text of this out and it’s not helped that someone has punched four windows in the side of this building on Deanery Way. But, Google Gemini AI is my tool of choice here, and it’s fairly confident that the only word that this can be is Adamsons. It goes further and suggests that it’s a business run by Daniel Adamson (1820-1890) but he was an engineer and that doesn’t strike me as the normal business to paint up on the side of a wall. So that’s another little mystery as far as I’m concerned, but as an aside, I thought Stockport looked quite attractive architecturally.
