I am very fond of it. Also remember his TV programme – very approachable.

The Great West Road/A4/M4 approach road makes it hard to see the ways in which this quite charming bit of civic planning was supposed to look. The murals pay tribute to that, especially the Grand Union Canal which for some reason is the only one I remember with any clarity. Thank you. I see another book – murals of London – in my mind’s eye.

You may be pleased to know that the modern extension in front of the Town Hall is to be cut back in size, the platforms and rigging removed and a square restored so that the Town Hall can be seen to better advantage. Ceremonial steps up to the first floor – and the Alfred Daniels’ murals – will be put in place.

I would love to see these masterful 1950’s murals.

The mural on the west wall is so attractive that a charity organization might like to use it for birthday or other greetings cards. I’d be happy to buy some if they do!

As a protest (thank you Donald Trump), I’ve been posting art by artists from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen on my FB page . And the link to these murals was a “birthday gift” from a childhood friend who lives in London (I live in NY, USA.)

If that wasn’t already a Feel Good story for today, just seeing MORE of Alfred Daniels’ artwork
is a treat. Your recent blog post about his paintings and sketches provoked curiosity and appreciation…..and now the murals. What a legacy.
Many thanks!
