A few weeks ago I posted some pictures of the fence along Craven Road that has been decorated with artwork and old artifacts. I was south of Gerrard Street when I took the photos. I didn’t realize at the time that I missed another outdoor gallery on the other side of Gerrard. Today I took some pictures of those on display on the north side. Here they are in no particular order:

That tropical sunset on the left looks very inviting!
below: Some of the paintings are small words in another language and another alphabet. Can anyone translate for me?
By now I’m very curious about this street and this fence. I found a long, detailed, and interesting history written by local historian Joanne Doucette that you can read here.

Hi Mary, Very interesting. I was housed half a block from the original Craven Road (Paddington, London) during my recent visit to the UK photographing street art there. Did a tour in Shoreditch with Dave Stuart and another in Bristol with Rob Dean – the latter was a riot – we went around on e-bikes; quite an experience. Let’s get together for coffee one of these fine days and discuss more street art. I picked-up some interesting insights there, as I’m sure you did too.
Cheers, Mark
