Hallows Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I know the Nelson has been mentioned in previous threads, but does anyone have photographs of the rock-star paintings that were across the walls downstairs? Jimmy Page was one, Alice Cooper was another. I believe they were done by local artist John Gittens, but in all the hours I spent there, I never thought to take any shots. You think things are going to be around forever.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookedspire Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) I know what you mean I so wished now that I took my camera out more in the past but like you the thought never came into my head. Might be worth trying ' Flickr it's surprising what their is on their. Edited October 6, 2016 by crookedspire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghozer Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I think, they are still there... they were when it was "The Rocking Chair" about a year or so ago, but can't say past that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagel Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I'd love to see photos if any exist. I remember the wall paintings from the 1970's, very typical of the time and they would have been valued as some kind of cultural folk art if they had been preserved. The Moorfoot Tavern had similar wall paintings, probably by the same artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
