I forgot to add these from my ride last week. Windsor Terrace, Islington, called the London Terrace and from 1985

This wall was done by the neighbouring book shop off Old St to entice us in to buy their wares

This Banksy graffiti wall in Ladbroke Grove has been covered in perspex to prevent it being vandalised or smashed down and sold on Ebay

I went past this Chaffinch today in Loughborough Junction, and noticed it was opposite the Mohammed Ali one Redrider posted a while ago. I did wonder if it was by the same person who did the 'Acton owl' I found from page 31, and a quick google reveals it is, done by someone called ATM, who has painted a number of birds around London I shall try and find over the coming months.

Also on the bird theme is this impressive one in Brixton

It looks like LSD was involved in the creation of this one

I had no idea who Charlie Burns was, but after googling when I got home I found out more. I loved this moving tribute to a local legend, worth a read.

Only just clicked on the Charlie Burns link. He met all the notorious characters... the Krays, Julie Garland, the Pope... something tells me the stuff we don*the know of this guy is even more interesting than thej storieso he told.

Anyhow... the old Brixton Cycles building tumbles...

A follow up to the old BC shop. The new BC shop with the wall of names...

I'll get a better one of that so you can read your name if you took part in the crowd funding thing.

And here's one the marmoset from deptford will know...

Against the ruins of Norris Green Mansion, Liverpool. The mansion was built in 1830 on the site of the previous 17th century mansion built by the Norris family. This is what gave the area its name.
It was demolished in 1931. There is only the garden wall and an arch remaining. Given the areas well documented drug issues, I like the fact that a Latin inscription survives on the arch:
ALTE VOLO ("I fly high").

I like a man who 'likes' a wall! I fly high indeed, also close to Alte Velo. Looking forward to some more Liverpool examples :bravo:
