Thank you very much Günter. I have seen the wall art many times but this was the first time I had a camera with me. Also being in a car park there were often cars in the way.

Wishing you a good evening Günter.

Hi Peter,
I'm pleased you like this one, thank you. The mural is really impressive. Yes there are 18 large panels. If I hadn't been with a friend I would have taken more pictures, but I didn't want to bore her :-) I'm not in the HWW group, so you're not at all late Peter ;-))
Best wishes,
Rosa.

What a great piece of artwork Rosa.........it's really lovely and so very colourful. Nicely captured and presented in this beautiful collage!

PS: Could your No5 be William Charles Macready? victorian-era.org/william-macready-biography.html

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thank you very much Keith. I kind of wish it was somewhere better than a car park, but on the other hand it is accessible to all and many visitors to the historic town will see it. Although, it's not the main car park.

Well, how ever did you find that out Keith? I do believe you are right, as I have just looked up some local history and see that William Macready does indeed have a history with Sherborne. Here is a link to what I have found.

Thank you very much and I will add it to the PiP.

Keith Burton club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Hi Rosa..........I googled historical figures associated with Sherborne and looked some images comparing them to the mural..........and struck lucky! It was the high forehead and odd hairstyle that made him stand out!

Thanks for the extra link.............fascinating stuff!

Have a good evening yourself :-)

Certainly more interesting than a wooden fence, I've been looking on the internet but there is very little information about it you would expect a complete list of the scenes depicted. i hope you are having a pleasant evening Rosalyn

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Peter Castell club
My friend and I were naming the people depicted on it as we moved along the wall Peter, but we were stumped by the one in question. I think Keith has produced the answer. I have learned something new about Sherborne in the process :-)
Have a good evening.

A mix of caricatures and history via comics, a great achievement and as you say in an unusual place but which targets a large number of people.
Interesting and sympathetic capture, Rosa!

They are beautifully done and you have captured it well Rosa, was Guy Fawkes involved with Sherborne?

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Roger (Grisly) club
Thank you Roger. Guy Fawkes had a connection to Sir Walter Raleigh, but I don't quite know how, other than Raleigh had the two castles in Sherborne. I will have to look into it more.
