Its looking a bit shabby nowadays. Seem to remember it was a greenwich community all working together sort of thing but could be wrong.
Shame we can't get a few artistic Addicks to design a new mural based on our history but it would cost money and need organising, talking to the locals and the council.
On a wider point I really love wall end murals especially the ones from Ulster. Have a excellent book of them called 'Drawing Support'
Im surprised its still there to be honest and not painted over by yobs etc or even worse the locals just like the one in Woolwich opposite the swimming pool!

Doubt anyone would want to pay him to do one there, pretty cool stuff though
Those are great. My favourite is the one on the shack (Jamaica?).

Yeah very talented guy, has done work for Adidas and won loads of different awards for his work. Customised some drum sticks for me as well
Judging from this picture, the mural is on the side of what was once Sam Bartram's shop. I can't think of a better community project for the club than to get a tribute to the great man writ large upon the wall there. Perhaps done by local kids under the tutelage of a professional artist. Of course, that would be dependant on the owners wanting it.
Yes, definitely looking a bit shabby now - surely an artist amongst us could design something - encompasing maybe the play off final and FA cup final win or maybe Chrissy Powell doing his tunnnel leap - and a few of us who can handle a paint brush could volunteer to colour it in.
Hello! I saw this photo (well I took it) and thought I'd tell you a bit more about your mural. It was painted in 1976 so is nearly 35 years old. The creator are the Greenwich Mural Workshop (http://www.greenwichmuralworkshop.com/) who are still going strong - perhaps you can get them to repair the mural and paint a new one continuing the tradition of recording local history on the walls!
I run this project - the London Mural preservation Society - and have just written up Floyd Road. We collect local memories of murals so if you have a story about that one or any of the others let us know. And let us know if you get any new murals painted!

Should really give our one above a spruce up.
Couldn't we ask the ball boys to do it?

Brilliant idea!
Scene a Theme could paint one very well...
Asked on here before, but can someone post a link to that awful mural as I cant find it on the internet anywhere.
What or who would you have in the picture?
Definately Rachel in that white dress
What were you doing round there?
