Horsefair Mural by Karen Strunks
This mural can be found in Thomas Gardens, Holloway circus. It can’t be seen very well from the road, so take a short walker through an underpass and into Thomas Gardens. There you will see the bigger picture of this very impressive mural that measures about 3 metres high and 30 metres long! The amount of detail that has gone into this is phenomenal.
It depicts the Horse Fair that used to take place in the very same spot until 1911. This is just a small part of the mural, but hopefully it will tempt you to admire the bigger picture! It’s well worth a visit.
See you next Friday! :)
