Nice to see the walls back up with style.




Also great to see some Vaughn Bode influences in there...



Respect to all the artists

As its such a gorgeous day I thought I'd post an alternative take on the graffiti wall

Not a huge fan of the wall, but I do like that bit of road!

That reminds me I still need to sort out getting some pics done. Are you still up for it?

This reminds me....Looks as if there's all new artwork down at the tunnel right now. Passed through earlier and it would appear both walls have been re-covered with new murals. Wish I could have stopped to have a closer look, but the quality looks spot on as ever!

Still more than happy to provide my own photographic assistance if anyone plans a visit with an interesting car....

Yeah it's all new again, pity the artists don't collaborate on a single large piece to fill a whole side. Suppose they'd need a cherry picker for that though & then H&S starts getting mentioned and it gets complicated. All those little pieces are a bit too small for a good backdrop - some great style though. I think there's a real lack of large sized art around here. I wish they'd paint the old Nabisco factory in Welwyn Gdn. - that'd be an awesome canvas.

I see that the walls have been done again - popped in before the Feb meet at St Neots. Sadly no pics as car was filthy by time I got up the A1 from Welwyn. Hopefully the work will stay intact until the roads dry up a bit. Pics to follow at some point. I wish there was more quality graffiti about Herts/Beds

Sorry about the tread resurrection but does anyone know if this is still going on ie graffiti on the tunnel walls? Went a few years back and want to go again but I do not live locally.

Thanks in advance

There is still graffiti under there but it's now pretty much just all tags like the bottom pic in the [post above yours. I certainly wouldn't bother making a special journey over just for this.

If it’s not dark when I leave work I’ll grab some pictures of it helps as just around the corner.

Many thanks for the replies and taking the time to take some up-to-date photos it’s appreciated. Think I’ll give it a miss till spring/summer next year and find out what it’s like then.

Thanks again.

I will keep an eye out, it's on my usual route to work. The current batch are not really up to much, nothing like the good old Alice in Wonderland one that got painted over. I wonder if the Council keep a schedule of when the painters change?

There’s a new piece on the side of Britains Furniture. You can park up here for a few minutes in the evening when store is closed I think. (Not my photo. Taken from FB)
