Two more from the Underpass


A couple more sections from the Underpass in Reading. The first looks  like it could be from the Victorian era, just a shame some tagger defaced it.
 The second looks like it was wartime
There will be a couple more next week. Linking with Monday Mural

This is a nice mural. Yes, it's too bad taggers think they have to deface works of art.

It's too bad about the tags. The murals are very simple. I like the historic aspect of them!

Our photos said...

Nice photos, Bill!

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Yes they are a dam pain in the butt so to speak

Billy Blue Eyes said...

So do I but would like to know the meaning behind them

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Thank you very Much

The expression on the little nurse's face is haunting.

What a sweet paintings in a corridor, I like the images.

Good sequence; tying it in with the previous, given the migration of background in the depiction, I wonder if the subject is, in fact, 'migration'?? It's a theory anyway... YAM xx

Billy Blue Eyes said...

I thought that as well, sort of scary

Billy Blue Eyes said...

There are a couple more to come yet

Billy Blue Eyes said...

I don't know but will ask

What a shame a tagger has defaced this!

Billy Blue Eyes said...

We cal them Chavs in Scotland they call them Neds but either way they are midless morons for doing this

Sharon said...

Those are interesting figures on the mural!

Chrissy Brand said...

I like the faded glory feeling to them both.

love the red cross on the nurses - but her face is far to young for a nurse

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Yes they are, I still have a few more to go yet

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Think that is down to the paint used

Billy Blue Eyes said...

I wondered if it was a couple of children playing when I saw it

EricaSta said...

The Girl looks so sad ... And it's a interesting Story for me, the view under the bridge with the history aspect.

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Your right she does look sad and the biy is not much happier

This tile mural is far more extensive than I imagined. It's good to see the details. I wonder if there's a way to clean off the tagging since the tile images are protected through the glazing process. Thanks, Bill, for contributing to this week's Monday Mural. Hope you can find more murals to share with us.

Still got a couple more yet then I'll find something to post

Linda said...

Very artful murals! I look forward to seeing the rest.
