35 years since fall of the Berlin Wall ... and street art, and the A350 subway

It's not UK, It's not Rail ... but it's 35 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Photographs show wonderful street art on the remains of the wall that's threre as a reminder. Closer to home, there is wonderful street art to be seen in Swindon. And in the last few days, the subway under the A350 has been designated as a street art wall. A fabulous step forward.

Ah - now that subway IS rail related. It and the road above it provide a psychological split between the town of Melksham and the ring around it in which the station lies

I have a lump of that Berlin Wall as I was present the night it fell. Well, the evening.

Thanks for that post, ChrisB. 

Do you have an image you could possibly share here?

Sorry, no. It is in a box in the loft with other items not needed on a regular basis. It's a lump of about a pound in weight that sits in the palm of a hand, covered in graffiti....

... perhaps an apposite end of the Berlin Wall: it's reduced to rubble.

Thanks, ChrisB.
