Katharine had a few days visiting Lucy and her family at the end of school half term, and this mural is one of the photos that she took while she was there.
The mural is located in Putney Exchange shopping centre and shows the view towards Putney looking south-west over Putney Bridge from the north bank of the River Thames. On the river itself can be seen two rowing boats, perhaps reflecting the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race which starts from Putney Bridge. One interesting feature of the bridge is the presence of a church at either end of it. Only the church on the south bank can be seen on the mural.
Sadly there was no information at the site about who created the mural, and so far I have found nothing on the internet, so its creator and origins remain a mystery.
What a great mural, so colourful with the pops of green and the tradition of the boat race. I hope you get to the bottom of the mystery of who made it.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
Katharine was very lucky to get this shot without people passing, or the benches being full of shoppers. I haven't yet seen this mural - I have a habit of avoiding shopping centres when I can!
