East Ilsley Mural



The next panel depicts the village of East Ilsley and shows the sheep for which the village was famous for. The Ridgeway for centuries was used as road and sheep were herded along it to the various markets in villages & towns, this was happening right up to the twentieth century. The mural itself has suffered not only from age but also some moron tagged it.

  1. It's still a great piece of history. One would expect local councils to be able to remove these tags without too much damage to the original piece.

  2. Funny! I published a mural alluding to the chicken as wrapped up in Petaluma California's identity!

  6. A really nice mural, though I'll never understand why people need to "tag" things. :(

  7. There never seems to be a lack of morons. Luckily, the charm of the original work still shines thorough. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
