The Last from the Underpass
These are the last of the photos I have taken from the underpass in Reading. These are also the last proper Murals I have. All I have to offer now is some Graffiti, painted wall signs and what we in the UK call ghost signs.
The first one you see here has at least been spared the destruction of tagging
The second here looks like it is depicting more moder children than the previous ones I have shown.
Taking Part in Monday Mural
Isn't this intriguing!

Thanks Jennifer
DeleteNice photos, Bill!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much
DeleteThis has been one long mural but it was worth it with your weekly postings. I have a suggestion for you. Take your ghost signs and post them on Wednesdays at Lesley's Signs, Signs.
ReplyDeleteCeers Andy I might just do that
DeleteIt's such a charming mural, the graffiti busters need to get out there with some soap and water and paint remover and clean it up.
ReplyDeleteThat will never happen, more likley a new mural would take it's place
Deletei like them! oh i want to see the ghost signs, i love ghost signs!
ReplyDeleteI'll dig a few up and take some new photos of them
DeleteHari OM
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill - I like the one of the words coming alive at the top - the whole mural has been intriguing. YAM xx
The whole mural was really neat but not easy to photograph. Have to find something new now
DeleteI don't understand the need for tagging...but, then, it has been a long while since i was a kid.
ReplyDeleteAh but you have a mind, the taggers don't
DeleteI'm so glad to get to see this sweet mural. Thank you for showing it.
ReplyDeleteNo problem Judy, I just wish there was more
DeleteTwo very lovely art mural

Thank you very much I liked them as well
DeleteNice! I like those butterflies, very colorful and childlike!
ReplyDeleteMy feeling is that the artistes who painted it were quite young.
DeleteYou have got me paying more attention to the few under passes we have here in Coventry. Nothing nearly as nice as this artwork to be found here in Coventry. Well, not yet :).
ReplyDeleteWell I hope you find some I'd hate to think Reading was the only place that had them
DeleteI had to go back and see the rest of this mural. I think it would be interesting to have a new, fresh one painted in its place. But, that would be a lot of work.
ReplyDeleteIt would but would also take some organiseing by the community, one can but hope
DeleteSorry to see the last of these tile murals. Maybe you'll run across murals in neighboring towns or inside pubs or restaurants. Happy hunting. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
ReplyDeletePeople express creativity in so many ways. Lovely shots!
