A closer look at the Enterprise Mural


The Enterprise Mural on the gable wall of 89 Lower Hillgate offers a pictorial reflection of Stockport's industrial history. It was designed and painted by artist Keith Ormondroyd in 1983.

I first showed it to you in my post on 26th August.


I've been back since then and taken some closer views from the side. For a 30-year old mural it isn't doing all that badly.


Another contribution to Monday Murals.

  4. It is gorgeous, it is funny how styles have changed and yet this seems timeless. the aging add something to the whole overall feel. Wonder if there is any talk of restoring it?

  6. Love the medieval section with the featured crafts. A 30-year old mural is pretty impressive. May need so attention soon, don't you think? Sorry about the Linky snafu. Got your link up. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.

  7. Interesting and unusual wall painting .. I hope they do not disappear through lack of care.

  8. It's pretty well-preserved for a 30-year-old mural. I wonder if your city has plans of renewing it. I hope it does.
