  It would be a shame to lose it all after it is complete. this eyesore lives next door to it.

  Murals are great! I didn't know we were getting one, that's fab! I wish we could have one on the wall at the Tower Hamlets crossroads opposite the Eagle Pub. That would be stunning.

  Hilda Ogden lead the way in 'muriels' by having one on her wall in Corrie many moons ago.
  
  I, like Bern, love 'em.

  Ah Howard the mural stayed and became a feature Hilda added the ducks to give it a bit of 'class'.

  The mural is going to be covered with a special clear anti graffiti varnish, so there is a good chance it will last
