Driven past this a few times. Looks as bad as I thought, sadly.

You're right, the building has been there about three or four years, but the white wall is actually wooden boards.

Yeah it's Shieldfield's new unofficial graffiti wall.

That brink buildings, and brick parts aren't bad and fairly acceptable for student accommodation and for that area, however everything else is just cringe worthy.

i meant the buildings to the left for the blank wall.

chris - a large well done graffiti mural might actually improve it!

It could hardly make it worse!

The white wall will eventually disappear. The origional building on the right is due to be extended into the space between. I'm not sure when though.

I guess we'll have to be thankful for small mercies.

Work on this project, due to be complete in 3 weeks time, has been suspended for the moment as the main building contractors have reportedly folded.

Oh well, never mind, we'll have to haul it down eh? Such a shame, it looked like being a real landmark for the city...

bigchrisfgb · July 7th, 2011, 08:44 AM
