MES Mural


 

Is anyone in the group familiar with this mural of MES by the artist Akse (photo byJeff Higgott)?
I presume it is somewhere in the friendly confines of Prestwich...
Wonderful and frightening, yes?
Perry


 

Just off Bury New Road and a few doors down from Bargain Booze in Prestwich.

And right around the corner from Mark and Una's flat on Kingswood Road.

Thanks Stefan, splendid! I see the Google Map image predates the mural, a new window and an additional HVAC vent! The changing urban landscape brings to mind the work of curmudgeonly , contemporary English landscape artist. Good stuff.


 

It's just off the high street. Here's a typical?shot from one of the many tourists who visit it.

Corner of Clifton Road/James Street, and coincidentally the same block of buildings as was home to the Manchester Psychic Centre which hosted "Questors" in the early 1970s:

No but I do do a bit of stand-up but not nearly as well as Phil Jupitus does.

Thanks for the education in local culture! I did my home work on Porky the Poet which opened some new doors for me.

?A proposito! (as those clever Spanish bastards say):

If one were to make a psychogeographic map of Manchester, I wonder what the top ten or fifteen spots on it might be?
Perhaps at an even more granular level, what would you expect to see on a psychogeographic map of Prestwich?

eh, make that a Psyko-Geographic Map of Prestwich...
