Mural, Cinderford, Gloucestershire

Street murals that are painted with the support of the community are just as variable as those produced in a clandestine manner by a graffitist. This example, in Cinderford, Gloucestershire, is to my mind, at the better end of the continuum. It is in a collage form, similar to how a pin board might be covered in cut or torn photographs with snippets of text. It seeks to celebrate notable Forest of Dean personalities and keep alive and celebrate some of the language peculiarities of the area.
