Outlined onto the wall
Leigh and I were asked to put forward concepts for a mural that would be applied to the side of a residents house, which sits alongside the alleyway between Darby Road and Foord Road.
The Darby Road Steps mural came about because of a regeneration project that has been spear headed by East Folkestone Together and Nick Adams, KCC Community Warden.
The steps have been in decline for many years, fly tipping, lots of litter, a heavily tagged wall, smashed glass, a broken fence, existing lamp columns not working etc etc.
After seeing the success of the Bradstone Association mural at Bradstone Road, East Folkestone Together who are funded soley by Shepway District Council have financed the project.
We worked on several concepts which were discussed at multiple residents meetings.
They chose the design they thought would work best on site, and after the cold weather moved on, we got underway.
