Beyond the lovely official mural is Lock #85 where someone is about to the open the gate for their narrowboat to enter. On the opposite wall, away from the towpath, are a number of "unofficial" murals or street art.
One lies under a police notice and is likely to be temporary.
Next week I'll show your more of the lock and a rather nicer "unofficial mural".

A 21C take on the laughing policeman? ;-)
ReplyDeleteReally funny one. One could think that the artist also made the sign above.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting! I am glad you captured it before they remove it!
ReplyDeleteWell that is a creative mural by somebody who doesn't like prohibitions.
ReplyDeleteThat's perfect for the spot!
ReplyDeletetoo funny!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a Bansky piece. (Is 21C, that Chrissy mentions, a street artist's name?) The placement uses the warning sign to great effect. Thanks for contributing to Monday Mural.
ReplyDeleteOMG, I LOVE this. Just perfect.
ReplyDeleteExtremely important to enlarge this picture -- at least I didn't see how funny it is until I did so! Yeah, I just bet it's gone by now. Generally I'm not a fan of 'unofficial murals' b/c over here they're mostly just gang signs and graffiti.... yours, at least this one, are not only witty (!) but also well done!
