09:3676032I LOVE the images. i had a feeling that Rick may have had a hand... easy to spot great work when you see it!
Loving the effect, really drew my eye this morning on my way around the town. LOVE them, and now i am going to have to walk (!) all the way up to have a proper gander.
Well done guys! Beautiful! Maybe a project more places can have done...

09:5176034Well done to the LRCF, hopefully gives an incentive to other`s to get out and get things done as opposed to sitting at home whingeing about the town. I`ll have a stroll up there next week.
Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

10:2176037Tried to take a picture earlier but all you can see is a reflection of the houses opposite! I'll call that way again this afternoon when the sun is over the other side of the road.
Call in for coffee and a chat after Colin, give me a bell on 205411 when you're near and I'll put the kettle on. Can't offer the same to you I'm afraid Jenn, I'll be out for most of the day now.
Bumped into Ross on the way down, what a nice little community we have here with nice people (well, most of them anyway!).

11:2076049I will have a look tomorrow on my way to work.
Our shop was interested in moving there but what with the rent and the leaky roof we decided not to bother, a great shame as the premises would have been ideal.

12:2576061Fantastic work, drove past last night and I love the pics...took my attention a bit though! Really looks nice and can't wait to walk past to take a closer look.
Well done to the LRCF team for their hard work here and for obtaining the grant last week - fantastic news.
Jenn, I am surprised you don't like tea or coffee. I thought I was one of very few in the world who doesn't drink tea or coffee!!
You mean theres more of us!
Yes going back to topic, can't wait to see more of this type of work around town as it certainly brightens the place up.

13:1676073Sounds great. I'll have a look at it tomorrow morning.
More of this sort of thing all over Dover, please. Let's have a riot of colour, too, a la Tontine Street, to brighten up all the tired buildings.

15:2476091 That was lucky Terry, I got it from the other angle. Very nice picture too, mine`s a bit on the dark side though. I suggest everyone going there to view them better.

It does make such a huge difference to the look of the place

16:1976242#4. Sorry Terry, I missed your posting there, thanks for the invite mate, I may give you a buzz next week but don`t stay in waiting. It was only when I was down the sea front yesterday I remembered the display, so went up there yesterday lunchtime instead.

18:4276257As promised I went passed this morning. It looks so much better all you need now is for Banksy to do some of his 'graffiti' on the shutters to make the whole frontage perfect.
