Mural painted near Woolwich ferry and infamous tower
A mural has been painted on a large wall lining Woolwich ferry car park.
The site sits close to the Mast Quay towers which Greenwich Council have pushed to be demolished after developer Comer Homes ignored numerous planning conditions.
It could well be an attempt to cheer up the area. Just don’t look over there!
No matter how many times you see it the sheer cheapness of these blocks is something else.
Real bottom of the barrel “design”, if you can even call it that.
Elsewhere
The mural joins a number of others appearing as part of a town centre project.
However, the Woolwich ferry site is not listed as part of that project.
Not all are. Another has been painted at the western end of Powis Street at the base of a building that has just seen yet another application in regards to a pub conversion.
Other sites include Bernard Close which links Sainsbury’s and Calderwood Street to Powis and Hare Streets.
It’s named ‘Area Of Prosperity’ and was created by Haffeera Cader Saul and Nightingale Primary School.
The mural depicts a scene on the Thames alongside riverside industry in the town.
Hi. Thank you for raising awareness to this wonderful piece of art, it certainly is a unique magnificent mural and should be seen by anyone interested in art and brings a cultural artistic flavour to this unloved neglected spot.
Did you happen to know the name of the artist?
Many thanks.
