I made a quick visit to Bingley with a friend, to see what I thought was a photographic exhibition by Bingley Camera Club. It turned out to be a sale of prints but my friend bought a couple, so it was a worthwhile trip. Around the railway station entrance, I noticed some newish street art. The mural above, filling in the windows of an empty property, shows a few Bingley landmarks like the famous Five Rise Locks.
The other two paintings are by a local artist, Jane Fielder, who created them originally, I believe, to brighten up the entrance to the swimming pool. The pool is now closed and doesn't look like it's going to be saved, despite people's efforts. So the paintings have been weather-treated and placed outside, around the town. I think there are a couple more somewhere though I haven't managed to find them yet.
what interesting murals you've found! Love the paintings especially.
