December 4 2007:
It was better in their day

Woking

Well, of course it might have been for a few. This mural was first made in 1993, but a few years exposed to the elements prompted its restoration and it was re-erected in Woking’s High Street in summer 2007.

The original mural, depicting an Edwardian shopping scene, was painted by Roger Hoare and Allan Potter.

You always combine the real with the unreal so well Ray. The implied interaction is wonderful, especially the conductor in the back zeroing in on the pedestrian.

Lady in orange looks rather haughty! Great image, with the confluence of old and new.
