Southsea Street Art

Southsea Street Art
Another fantastic piece of artwork by local Southsea artist "My Dog Sighs".

This is on the wall of what used to be a huge Knight and Lee department store (and as it says on the wall, a branch of the John Lewis Partnership) which sadly, closed with a huge loss of jobs. It was one of two "flagship" stores in the shopping centre (the other being Debenhams, also closed down). I suspect both will soon be demolished and turned into housing.

I can't argue with that Maggie...........and I think we're all a bit guilty of it........along with high business rates and shop rentals and the rising costs of what seems like everything..!!

My own town Havant is full of charity shops, nail bars, barber shops, take-away shops and estate agents and the whole place has an air of depression. It's dirty and unloved and the council have no money..!! It used to be such a lovely little town........but now I won't even go there on my own in the dark..!!

Thanks for sharing the poem, which I vaguely remember from my school days........a very long time ago!

Das Wandbild gefällt mir sehr gut. Es wäre schade, wenn es beim Abriss zerstört würde.
