Murals on buildings (not Graffiti art)

Spotted this beautiful Mural today in Exeter. I have seen several of these out on the walls of large houses and thought they could be a good subject of observation.

I agree, that's a cracker Beryl, haven't seen many, but will keep an eye out.

There is a nice one in Chartres, I'll dig out the photo.

Thanks Rolf

I used to see one on a journey I did as a Wren staff car driver.I think it was at Gosport Hant's. Never took a photo. When I saw this one today it brought it all back and I have seen quite a few The is one some where of a fairy tale. Might be at Bromley. I hope to be going there at the end of August for a holiday

Thanks. There is one in town in the Subway . it was done by the Prince's trust will capture it next time I go there

Found this mural in the subway Under the Exmouth main street. Painted by members of the prince's trust, it spans the length of the subway on both side. I could only capture a small part of it

Nice idea - although I'm not too sure there are many here in Reading. There was one I used to see in Brixton about Mary Seacole, a lauded black heroine who basically did what Florence Nightingale did.. just moreso and without the publicity.

Thanks .Yes. There aren't very many I first saw one at Gosport in the 60s they usually depict a story of some sort. I rather like them

There is a major one on the corner of London street and the IDR Louise (opposite the Oracle), trouble is, I'm always in the van when passing it.

***Chocky*** · 24-07-2008, 11:35 PM

Well you could stop and get out of the van.

**rolf** · 25-07-2008, 12:12 AM

Yes, that would be a good move on the main inner distribution road.

Yes. You could try Piccadilly while as well. You could stop a lot more traffic there

Thames valley birds - Landscape, Building and Industrial Photography Pretty much as the title suggests Murals on buildings (not Graffiti art)
