A huge - and hugely popular - new mural in Preston city centre will remain in place after town hall officials concluded that it did not harm the listed building on which it had been painted without the proper permission.
The ‘Mother’ artwork appeared on the side of Hogarths gin bar on Church Street in July. However, as the Lancashire Post revealed last month, an oversight by the owners of the Grade II-listed property meant that the depiction - of a woman cradling a lamb - did not have the green light from Preston City Council’s planning department to alter a listed building.
Artist Shawn Sharpe last week began work on another mural on the side of the Northern Way pub on Friargate, which he has just completed. Speaking to the Post about the city council’s decision on Mother, Shawn said that ever since it was completed, “the people of Preston have backed the painting 100 percent” – a sign, he hopes, that they would welcome many more of them adorning the city’s streets.
