Lost Brixton Murals
The murals listed above can still be seen, but some murals are no longer there.
- This mural on Rushcroft Road has all but gone, with only a corner still visible. It is called 'Peace' and was painted in 1983 by Dale McCrea as part of the GLC for peace year.
- This mural called Golden Garden was designed by London Wall Art Group and could be found on Coldharbour Lane. It was commissioned by the Brixton branch of Woolworths to cover over riot damaged windows. The mural was funded by Dept. of Environment and Lambeth Council Partnership. That site is now occupied by a shop called 'Joy'.
- This mural was painted on Vining Street. It was covered up by the same housing development which obscured the Rushcroft Road mural. Several inches of the mural can still be seen on the left hand side of the mural. It is called 'War' and was painted in 1983 by Pauline Harding as part of the GLC for peace year.

Famous quotes containing the word lost:
“Preschoolers think and talk in concrete, literal terms. When they hear a phrase such as “losing your temper,” they may wonder where the lost temper can be found. Other expressions they may hear in times of crisis—raising your voice, crying your eyes out, going to pieces, falling apart, picking on each other, you follow in your father’s footsteps—may be perplexing.”
—Ruth Formanek (20th century)
