I may have said before how much I love to see #streetart when out and about on tackling #highstreet vacancy commissions with #TheVacantShopsAcademy.
It’s especially the case when you happen across one unexpectedly and it’s sooooo vibrant.
This we found looking right before crossing a road in the attractive market town that is Rugby in Warwickshire.
Lots to like here. An interesting mix of buildings, a strong group of independents, a variety of incoming businesses with others in the pipeline…
…and a range of ways to reflect its history and heritage.
Sculpture, pavement installations, wall art, banners and more.
It prompted me to ask #placemaking colleagues: “what’s your favourite example of highlighting the special features of your town or city centre’s past, its stories and characters etc…?”
Do please share…
