martmatt Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 As I was driving under the bridge on the M18S to M1N connection road today, the sun was at the right level to highlight the remains of the graffiti "I love Janice". I'd completely forgotten about this. It must have appeared in the mid 80's and if memory serves, was even touched up at least once before being removed several years later. Does anyone know the history of this memorable, romantic and audacious piece of graffiti? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cartav Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Hey! That takes me back to the nineties! I always looked forward to seeing the "I love Janice" as it told me I was near home. Don't know if "Janice" was ever touched up, but didn't it say "I love Pete" as well? And on the same subject of bridge grafitti, I remember seeing one in South Wales some time back. The original bit by some nationalists said "Free Wales". Under it someone else had written "With every five gallons". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisdebee Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I too remember the 'I love Janice' bridge as we used to call it. I was driving back from Hull the other day and was reminiscing about the graffiti which seemed to disappear a few years ago now. A pity because it used to cheer up the kids as they knew we were almost back home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemima Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 There is some amusing graffiti at the A1 J37 I think to Warmsworth, Doncaster. When you get back on the A1 S there is a sign that says "Last one out turn off the lights", made me chuckle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmdee Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 There used to be a slogan written on top of the five arches. Can't really remember what it said, but think it was 'vote labour' or something similar. This goes back to the 1950's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
