28/11/24 - Droitwich Underpass Street Art

The Mad Hatter Looks Familiar


It's not graffiti when there is an associated booklet. An intriguing first walk with the Worcester Ramblers takes me on an Urban plod around Droitwich. Net curtains twitching as a Goretex clad posse went through estates, with only one stop to report an abandoned mattress.

7 works of art by would be Banksies, with everyone too polite to mention the added Johnson on the final mural. Droitwich kids get points deducted through a lack of prickly hair and spurtage.

I'd been sharing stories about favourite live comedians with a lady who had recently seen Sarah Milligan. After reeling off my modern favourites, I said that no one had ever made me laugh as much as Rick Mayall at the Birmingham Alexandra way back in 1989. Couldn't breathe for laughing and even the day after the event, the only actual joke I could remember had the punchline "you're too efffing small".

Lo and behold, but who do we spot in an Alice in Wonderland inspired mural.

Keep your eyes peeled for the Comedy Tribute Festival rumoured to be coming to Droitwich

An unusual 5 miler. Onto refreshements. 

Although Droitwich is not really a hot-bed of good pubs, I'd heard that the Hop Pole has Bathams permanently on. Pleasantly surprised to find both Bitter and Mild on. Tomorrow, I go in search of the festive XXX.
