i bet some of you lot tagged the odd wall here and there lol... Here is some classic pieces around manchester late 80s... you must remember the old Identity shop in Afflecks, and the Konspiracy on Fennel Street.... a trip down memory lane

i used to get my mummy to drive me around so i could take photos lol... loved it tho :lol:

really wish i still had the photos but they all went the same way as my old TDK tapes.. all vanished it to thin air

i remember the ones here at ashburys garage in Beswick (which is still probibly the busiest wall in m/cr)... check em out....

Wow, that was a fantastic blast from the past!!!

The piece on SPLIT skates where he mentions the girl who looked like Nehna Cherry, what ever happened to her, I fancied her soooo much!!!

Me and Craig managed to get a few pieces up around Royton. Most notable was Our Ladies School at the end of Broadway. We did it one day over the summer holidays which was a surprise for all those returning to school that September.

Now I get to teach it at work!

Yeah not bad for a bunch of kids!!
I wish my art lessons were more like that instead of drawing a rusty kettle or a sweaty orange.
