A New Use for Wallpaper in York. by fishers

A New Use for Wallpaper in York.

There are some ugly neglected places in York, and over the last weekend some of them have had attention from artists who have decorated parts of the outside with wallpaper. This has brightened them up a bit. Three places were treated - the Dark Arches on Leeman Road, the Bonding Warehouse and the White Swan Hotel.

These are on the south side of the Bonding Warehouse, a riverside building that has been disused since being seriously affected by flooding in 2000, and which has deteriorated a lot in that period, despite various abortive schemes to bring it back into use.

Such a fantastic idea. I could use a new suitcase, one of ours just went out for the garbage pickup.

@bruni The suitcases would be easy to send but you wouldn't get anything in them. They are great to see. Katharine

@thresheg @padlock @helixconcepts @witchyjacq Thank you. The other locations are interesting too. York has had several displays of art on walls over the past couple of years, but this is quite unusual. Katharine

@gillg @bobhuegel @dolphin @tonydebont @bkbinthecity @purplehaze12 Thank you. The other locations have some different "wall papers". It has been cleverly done and makes an interesting change to other types of wall art. Katharine

@malc @gamelee Thank you. I used a collage as I couldn't decide on a shot that did the artwork justice.
