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.

This 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.

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Ceers Andy I might just do that

Sharon said...

It'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.

Tanya Breese said...

i like them! oh i want to see the ghost signs, i love ghost signs!

Billy Blue Eyes said...

That will never happen, more likley a new mural would take it's place

Billy Blue Eyes said...

I'll dig a few up and take some new photos of them

The whole mural was really neat but not easy to photograph. Have to find something new now

I don't understand the need for tagging...but, then, it has been a long while since i was a kid.

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Ah but you have a mind, the taggers don't

No problem Judy, I just wish there was more

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Thank you very much I liked them as well

Halcyon said...

Nice! I like those butterflies, very colorful and childlike!

Billy Blue Eyes said...

My feeling is that the artistes who painted it were quite young.

You 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 :).

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Well I hope you find some I'd hate to think Reading was the only place that had them

I 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.

Billy Blue Eyes said...

It would but would also take some organiseing by the community, one can but hope

Sorry 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.
