I am sure many of you have noticed the incredible mural, by the world famous Shepard Fairey, that has gone up on the previously dilapidated advertising board on the side of Turnpike Stores. A group of residents have worked tirelessly to make this happen and it just shows what is possible when you come together as a community. The mural has brought considerable positive attention to Turnpike Lane on the internet and social media. Please let me know if you want to get involved in any potential future works and I can pass on your details – or join up to the neighbourhood facebook group (link on right side of website).
Please see this link for a series of beautiful photos capturing Shepard Fairey at work:
