Mural on Barry Road....gone

[MiddleAgedMan]

Did anyone know that the large mural overlooking the Plough car park was going to be obliterated?

[Moovart]

The owner of the building? 🤷

It was the second mural on the site, perhaps it will be replaced by a new one. Don't think we can look on any of these murals as permanent fixtures.

I liked the bee.

I was told that there was a problem with the wall that needed fixing. There were a few cracks cemented over which did spoil the mural a fair bit once the repair work had been done so maybe the owner decided to not leave it looking spoilt or perhaps the repair work necessitated a special paint job? 
Mad C was the artist. Feel free to look her up and let her know (though she may have been made aware of the plans anyway). 

[Jenijenjen]

Didn't the same thing happen when the bee mural was there which eventually led to the second mural being painted?

[Pugwash]

The building is having major repairs to it, the tenants there have had problems for a considerable time.

I hadn’t noticed it had been painted over.  Looking her up, the artist, Mad C, seems to have quite an international reputation. I found the bee that was there before a bit creepy.
