Sea Lock Graffiti Mural
“This huge mural adorns the wall under an overpass and is located at the Windsor Esplanade entrance to Hamadryad Park. It has six panels each depicting a theme connected with the maritime history of Cardiff Docks, and is an early example of the work of the renowned artist Kyle Legall. I really like his work, and indeed his portrait of Blues pioneer Robert Johnson hangs on my living room wall (one day when I’m feeling lazy I shall post it as my pic of the day…). Hamadryad Park is a great open space which runs from the Wetlands along the mouth of the River Taff. The park takes its name from a ship which was moored nearby in the late 19th Century which served as a hospital for merchant seamen, and subsequently the Victorian hospital which took on the name, a building which still stands near the Clarence Embankment entrance to the park, though it is about to be turned into a new housing development.”
Thanks Jeremy! Catch you next time…
