For Walls With Tongues by @FWWTMurals has been extended until tomorrow, Sunday 2 June. Drop by the Project Space to visit this exhibition before it's gone.

The murals covered in our project may put paint over concrete, and community over police, but they follow in a rich tradition of publicly sited art.
(with some near Paddington also: forwallswithtongues.org.uk/a…)
After a leg operation I have to walk three miles a day, a good excuse for mural hunting. I continued to Paddington Police Station for more concrete. This courtesy of tip off from Leigh Stanford.

'For walls with tongues' is an oral history project looking at street murals in the UK from 1966-85. There's an exhibition at University of Greenwich's Stockwell St building until the end of June and it's well worth visiting. forwallswithtongues.org.uk/
ALT Louise Vines' 'Sankofa Bird' mural on Pentonville Road - a women's peace mural referencing an Ghanaian legend which shows the importance of learning from the past.

Amazing exhibition by @FWWTMurals For Walls With Tongues at Greenwich university. So much research and a fantastic display of these often overlooked pieces of public art. #publicart #muralart #paint

Always pass this on my way to work, and always want to clean it. Subway under Woolwich Church Street.

David Bratby’s Elephant & Castle Subway murals, sadly lost to development recently... nitter.gq/rosamund_lil/status/95…
Finding old photos after having the laptop back from the computer doctor. Think these are various Elephant subway photos. Great how I got the flash reflection in every time! 2008/9-ish, I think?

At 28 metres the #Grunwick40 mural is roughly the same length as 3.5 Routemaster buses, or 433 placards laid end to end, or 933 35mm film canisters, or 112 strands of spaghetti, or one-two-hundred-thousandth as long as The Great Wall of China. But it's not as long as this tweet.
