BRISTOL STREET ART

Street Art
(Bristol by Elaine Carr)

     Given that Bristol is the city where (allegedly) local boy Banksy made graffiti an art form, it’s no surprise that it’s become a mecca for street-art fans. There are so many great murals that I ‘only’ managed to see around 250 works – all south of the River Avon. As there are roughly the same number north of the river, this almost certainly won’t be the last Bristol street-art post.

SPORTS STATUES IN LONDON

Image
Sports Statues in London Wembley Stadium       This montage of  Rugby League greats from different teams and eras features (left to right)   Martin Offiah,  Eric Ashton,  Gus Risman,  Billy Boston and Alex Murphy.         Since 1929 the Rugby League Challenge Cup final has been held at Wembley  despite the fact the game isn't taken seriously anywhere  south of Widnes  (apart from  Australia and Perpignan). It's not for southern softies. And 90,000 northerners invading the capital is a tad  unnerving for L ondoners. See  The Mash Report.        I don't think I can add anything to the plaque honouring the only  Englishman to captain World Cup winners.     There are two more statues of Bobby Moore in London .....          East Ham                                ...

LONDON STATUES - ENGLISH MONARCHS

Image
STATUES IN LONDON OF ENGLISH MONARCHS      By royal appointment, I hereby present my photos of London's public statues of Kings and Queens - together with some of their quirks and quotes.       I have fully listed all English  (latterly British) Kings and Queens  since the Norman Conquest , including those not deemed worthy of a statue. I've also included some earlier monarchs who do have statues . Unless otherwise stated, the statues are all in public places or places with free admission.      I have to confess that AI has been shamefully plundered  for my pen pictures ; but then many of our royals were shameful plunderers. I also used ChatGPT to sub the whole magnum opus. I have to say they are less condescending than my regular sub (ex-BBC World Service) who has never once said "it's been my pleasure to sub your work".     As usual, t he accompanying portraits are courtesy of  The National Portrait Galle...

GLASGOW STREET ART

Image
   Glasgow Street Art        A few days after my Brighton break I found myself in another place awash with fine street art - and the only major UK city I'd never visited before . The 'summer' weather in Glasgow was even wetter and colder than in Brighton. But that didn't put me off; and I was never far from a Wetherspoons when the rain (and hail) showers threatened.      Using one of those quaint old paper street maps marked with a route plotted from streetartcities.com is a good way to get under the skin of a city, often away from the obvious tourist spots.       Where better to start than with archetypal Glaswegian  Rab C. Nesbitt, played by Gregor Fisher since 1988. Even those who  never watched the TV series are likely to remember his  Hamlet ad.   Apparently Johnny Depp based his Glaswegian  accent for Alice in Wonderland   on Rab.       Wind Power , Mitchell Street, by Ro...
