There was a salesman working in there and he was the very best called the men (Sir) and the ladys (Mad-am) he later went to Woods and he was the same there.

I understand that it needs major work to bring it up to standard (leaking roof, broken freight lifts, etc.)
I also understand that one of the previous tenants is still paying rent on it...

went past again this morning, i think the best one is where one of posh barry's ancestors is having his shoes shined by a local peasant.

I'll have to have a look, it's just possible it could be Great Uncle Creighton getting ready for one of his many trips to the continent

Good to see that the "missing" mural has been replaced. It was removed when the window was repaired. LRCF and Absolute Graphix have fixed it. Well done!
Not a good picture, it was a dull morning.

I suspect it was later Saturday morning Brian. Since I "retired" from LRCF I've tried to keep out and not meddle, so unless I'm involved in some way (like the Paper Boat Race in the summer) I don't really know what's going on.

Is it on the inside or outside of the window Terry?
Although the figure looks rather out of place someone obviously has a sense of humour.

On the outside Jan, quite well done.
Reminds me of Banksy.
