The description of this huge mural on the Walsall Canal reads:
“John Edward Gray was a famous 19th century zoologist born in Walsall. He was responsible for identifying hundreds of new animal species throughout his career as well as having several species named in his honour.
One such species is the Salvelinus Grayi, or ‘Gray’s Char’. A freshwater char or trout fish native to the UK.
The mechanical elements making up the mural are a nod to Walsall’s industrial heritage and to the location of the mural on the side of the Majorfax foundry.”
Great detailed mural, lovely capture
