Comments on: Mychael Barratt’s Whitechapel Mural https://spitalfieldslife.com/2018/04/25/mychael-barratts-mile-end-mural-x/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Mon, 07 May 2018 12:08:29 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Cherub https://spitalfieldslife.com/2018/04/25/mychael-barratts-mile-end-mural-x/#comment-1206976 Mon, 07 May 2018 12:08:29 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=163905#comment-1206976 An interesting piece. Back in the 90s I worked at Bankside Gallery and bought 2 of Mychael’s prints from an RE show (Oscar Wilde and Van Gogh) . They have been to 3 different houses with me, one in London and 2 in Scotland.

I’ve now moved to Switzerland and Mychael’s prints are being shipped here with some furniture and other personal belongings. We just love them!

I love seeing old adverts or shop names on end walls of buildings. Real social history of trader or companies long gone.

I love these murals, in fact I love all of those that spring up in the East End. I have a friend who haunts the area and photographs the walls as the lose one mural and gain another.

Thanks for all the great posts. If I don’t comment on each one its because of time constraints. I read each one assiduously and gain a lot from them. Oh, I too, remember Prince Monolulu.

That hit the railway bridge in Grove Road, Bow E3—not Whitechapel E1
