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." Hotel WOMEN ONLY 9d and 1/- per Night 4/6 and 6/- per Week Colebrooke Row, Islington

Another narrowboat comes out of the narrow tunnel. After checking to make sure that there were no other boats coming behind it, we started our journey westward through the tunnel and back to Battlebridge Basin.

We come out of the Islington Tunnel and into the daylight under the Colebrooke Row bridge. That's the Caledonian Road bridge up ahead. The boat turned around in this wide section of the canal and we waited our turn to head back west to the Canal Museum.
