| Additional info | The mural was given Grade II listed status in November 2011 and moved to Barbican Highwalks in the summer of 2013, in order to make way for the planned demolition of the Fleet Building on Farringdon Street. Moving the mural meant resetting all the individual tiles in nine brand new frames. These photographs were taken in November 2011 (shortly before the mural was listed) by the gentle author of http://spitalfieldslife.com. | |
