@Bazzer we've had a few posts from
@Katherine and
@skudupnorth, but there's lots more Manchester street art we've not had posted here. Following this thread you may be forgiven for thinking London is plastered with art works, but that's not really the case. It's a big old place and there are certain areas its more widespread, but it's easy to go out in London and not see any all day.
The trick is to know some places to look, and to just keep your eyes open everywhere else
. I came across a good quote recently while doing some research on a piece of old graffiti I'm still in the process of writing. It was on a George Melly BBC programme in 1978 in which he quotes a directive from surrealist Andre Bretton, which applies to walking but could just as easily be a cycling mantra, “expect all good to come from an urge to wander out ready to meet anything”.
I found this link with some streets in Manchester that could be worth visiting. I'm not familiar with the area so I've no idea if any of these works still exist, but if you are near any of these places it may be worth periodically popping by to see if anything new and inspiring has gone up..

I came across this today which made me chuckle, and its actually based on real history.
The Bow Street Runners have been called London's first professional police force.

And in Bethnal Green there's a great new David Attenborough work by Jerome Davenport/Keytones6000.
