Street Art

Several of the empty shops on Bath Street had their windows boarded up and were given a facelift by the addition of enlargements of old scenes of Ilkeston. It was not the most unexpected thing in this world when some of them became the target of vandals but now in the last day or two, the remaining old photos have been complemented by some colourful street art.

This picture above shows just two of the new additions alongside one of the original old scenes but all of them are labelled Class .... and one also has the initials K J S which leads me to suspect that they have been prepared by children from Kensington Junior School. I just hope that the vandals can keep their hands off or better still some business entrepreneur could open up the shops again and revitalise the lower end of Bath Street.
