Locals will recognise this location -Kirkgate, alongside what was Mary Milnthorpe's shop - just about in the middle of Settle. Shrouded with scaffolding this splendid mural simply appeared. Just four words. Though provoking, puzzling and local colour at its best.
The artist posted the following on Facebook:
I would like to say a great big thank you to all of the people who stopped to discuss and celebrate the mural for Settle.
So many fantastic responses from across the community and from visitors to the town.
The mural is 27 feet high and almost square.
The wall has had 20+ feet of dead Ivy removed, rotting wood replaced and four rusty tie ins made weatherproof.
The pigment on the paint is guaranteed for 15 years with the brightness that it’s on completion and with an anti Graffiti varnish which adds UV protection.
I’m delighted with the results and hope it brings happiness to all who see it.
Thank you to the residents of Kirkgate who kept me going, to Emily at Studio Vault, Monique, the butchers, practically everything, and to all I conversed with.
Rob.
