Vibrant new artwork in Nottingham city centre 'makes you feel like you’re in Camden Town', shoppers have said. New murals have appeared on buildings in Bridlesmith Gate in the latest phase of a programme to enhance the prestigious shopping street which has been hit by a number of store closures in recent years.
"It might be a new thing for people to take Instagram photos or something here now. It’s just so colourful and I think it reflects this area well because there’s some aesthetically pleasing shops.” Mr Bailey enlisted the help of local youngsters, Leonard Design Architects, The Nottingham Project, Marketing Nottingham, Nottingham BID and Nottingham City Council to inject some colour into the area. The group said five murals were planned as well as various other artistic additions to the area.
John Morgan at Leonard Design Architects, said: “The students explained to us that they had travelled the world, been to bright colourful cities like Copenhagen and Berlin - and that Nottingham was vanilla in comparison. It made for difficult listening, and, as much as I love our city, you must admit that they do have a point. Many of the shops and buildings in the city centre - and on Bridlesmith Gate in particular - are cream and white or grey, there is no colour, and no personality.
The Nottingham Project has also been involved in new artwork which has been installed along the Nottingham and Beeston Canal, off the A60 London Road, between the city centre and Trent Bridge.
The delusions continue apace in Nottingham, yeah throw a bit of paint on it and kid yourself that it’s “just like camden”
