Graffiti.

Where has this happened? Just under the bridge or other places.

I hope the little shit gets what's coming.
 
He has his tag all along the railway up to Manchester. Assuming he is Blackpool based though as he has done a huge job on Fleetwood Road football/cricket changing rooms.
 
I must say that I find myself really conflicted about this original post and the questions it raises.

On the one half I think it's marvellous that a young person has such a safe and secure space to express his (or her) creativity. The fact that they have chosen Cleveleys which is effectively a blank canvass to use as the juxtaposition between middle class society and the spirit of urban rebellion is really commendable and also addresses an inate and primeval desire for man to stamp his personality on the urban landscape he inhabits - just like early man chose to paint on the walls of his cave.

Then again if the little ** did it in my backyard I would happily kill the little **.
 
Spread into Layton as well, noticed others have been over tagging or whatever it is called where another mess is sprayed on top of original nonesense. Appears more endemic around the central section of Talbot Road near the Mecca Bingo. Think they are more Wanksy than Banksy..
 
I’m not sure it’s the work of one guy.
It’s been scrawled on the walls of Devy Road hospital for donkeys. If it’s one guy I’d have hoped he’d grown up a bit since first starting.
Is it not a ‘communal’ tag for young wannabe pot heads?
 
It's a weird person to want to keep spraying a name allover the place. Like some sad addiction and quite infantile.

On the flip side when permitted graffiti murals can be quite a beautiful art form. But simply spraying a tag has no artistic quality and is just vandalism.
 
There’s a type of graffiti that can be considered ‘street art’, like the designated murals we have in the centre of town (behind Abingdon/Topping street area.

This ‘tagging’ just looks cack, though.

Anyone ever been to Athens? It’s rife with the really shite kind of tags.
 
Gone are the good old days of proper graffiti like Welcome Back Bolton, and Seaside Mafia in industrial tangerine paint on the railway line into North Station and Blackpool Kings Of Deepdale on a wall on the wasteland on the way from Central Drive bogs to the ground before they built Yeadon Way. And dont get me started on the Potts Must Go work of art that survived on the back of Scratching Shed from 1976 to the day they knocked it down 30 odd years later. Modern street art, my arse.
 
I walk on most days in Stanley Park one of the nicest parks in the North and regularly see forms of vandalism.

Why would you want too spoil something so nice ?

Damaging stepping stones , damage in the toilets , graffiti on the skate park,

But for me the worst example was when commerative benches were thrown in the Lake WHY ?

No respect definitely and they don't know the difference between wrong and right.

Conscription is the answer
 
You don’t see much Graffiti nowadays compared to the seventies and eighties, probably because modern day teenagers don’t hang around the streets as they’re all indoors on the Xbox. It’s a shame in many ways as a spray painted penis always raised a smile.

There was one such delightful example under Layton bridge for what seemed like years. Ah, the 90’s. I would see it everyday on my way to school. Blue, as I recall.
 
On St Anne's prom near the pier there are two shelters with benches in them. They are grade 2 listed and are well looked after these days. Back in the early 80's, they were somewhat neglected and somewhere teenagers hung around drinking. Both had a slogan on them painted in foot high letters. One said JOBS NOT BOMBS and the other JOBS NOT WOGS. They were there for years before anyone painted them over.

My local park had very ornate entrance gates, which are also now listed. For several years they had my initials = TURD painted on them in large letters. By my older brother. I moved back to the area a while back and every time I pass those gates I have a chuckle.

Another example of graffiti from the same era was the pair of slogans on the bridges over the train line from St Annes to Blackpool South. I used to make that journey to every home game and the white graffiti still remains clear in my mind. One said GET HAPPY and the other WAKE UP. The A was circled in both cases, a reference to anarchy.

Anyway, it's very naughty.
