Back to the Mural


Remember a few weeks ago I posted a mural near the Orical in Reaing many of you said I should go back an take some individual photos of it well I did and as it is Christmas I will post the all. I also took some of the underpass not far away so will be posting them in the future but less talking and on with the photos. At the end you will see a plaque telling you the story behind it.




This is the building it is on and belongs to a youth organisation so might tell you who the artist's  are .







The first part of the Mural by the road junction
The section with the window included in it. The explanation plaque is under on the wall.
The third part

The last part, I had to cross the carriageway to take the mural and way for there to be no cars to get in the way.
This plaque in under the second part of the mural and explains the meaning behind the mural. Hope you all have a great Christmas.

Good on Reading for giving space and voice to their youth. I was most impressed with the strong, almost fierce, pharaoh. But the running narrative is fascinating. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.

Merry Christmas to you as well Pam. I was glad I found the story behind it, had me puzzled for years
