Champions mural

Did this ever get painted over? I know there was talk of it and then if it got painted over moving it to somewhere else in the city. 

 

Is it still in its original place?

All that's left is the side with Vardy & King on. The rest has been painted over.

All painted over bar the Vardy and King side.

This is the quote from back in the day ...

 

"He and Mark’s Electrical owner Mark Smithson have agreed to pay Mr Wilson £10,000 plus costs to repeat his labour of love.

Mr Levy said: “We have to move it because it just won’t fit in with what we are going to do here.

“The plan is to get the original artist to come down and repaint it and we’re just trying to sign off a new site in the town for it.

“One is close to the city centre and the other option is on a prominent route into the city"

Why bother people with a new thread when you could just spend £40 on Ubers and look for yourself?

Think Ranieri should've had a better send-off than he did for what he achieved.

I think it was something to do with the wall with Vardy and King the store didn't own that part or something I could be wrong though.

There's also a Foxes one, at the pub (if it's still open?) opposite Walnut Street.

Tis the view now.

 

Lots of windows on the wall where most of the mural was

Do whoever owns the building not own the side with Vardy and King on? Always found it strange that side wasn't painted over.

The building has been converted into individual flats, each of those windows are separate flats. I guess the landlord owns the whole block but the side with Vardy & King on, is just the side of the end flat.

Fair enough, just found it strange that part wasn't painted over.
