Cycled past it a few times in between lockdowns although not so much since the Anchor and Hope (and all other pubs) have been shut - it looks as good as in the pictures.
It looks incredible on a sunny evening as the red just catches the sun nicely. Brilliant work by Ben and the museum team, also Network Rail who gave it their full backing.
Can we do the same to the opposite wall on the bridge ?
But some of the damage done needed more than just a clean so the Museum, who paid all the costs for the original mural, asked artist Lionel Stanhope to come back and repair the wall and mural
One of the local critics said ' what's it going to look like in a few years time '. Well we always plan to maintain it , so every few years it will get a repaint

This is what it looked like previously. It's fair to say that it needed a bit more work than our mural!
Sadly, lockdown means only a few Charlton fans and no away fans have seen it in the flesh since
RIP Seb
Maybe they will come round to the idea of another mural in Floyd Rd (if they pay for it.)
@Cardinal Sin top work
And weeds and plants have grown. Luckily @Cardinal Sin lives locally and weeded and cleaned the wall yesterday.
Thanks to him and to @Cardinal Sin for their help.
Thanks Cardinal and Lionel, I am sure I speak for everyone when I say……..a job well done. 👍
