London Police (Drake Street)

Known for their iconic LADS characters and precision marking, the London Police’s work has graced streets and galleries in 35 countries. They first started in 1998 in Amsterdam and within a few years had painted over a thousand characters on its streets.

Now their characters are on display in Rochdale too. The street on which they’ve painted was once a thriving hub of shops and businesses. Now in the process of being regenerated, this new mural brings new happiness, light and love to the walkway.

 

Northern Line & Dirty Faces (Alley by Poundworld)

This collaboration between Rochdale-based mural company Dirty Faces and Manchester based paint outfit Northern Line pays homage to the town’s surprisingly long association with muralism.

Its floral background references to one of Rochdale’s first muralists, Walter Kershaw, who still lives in Rochdale to this day. His original Pansies piece was painted in 1972 and was quite famous in the town. Now long gone, it was also his first ever large scale mural.

Curtis Hylton’s giant rooster on the back of M&S follows the appearance of a huge duck in Blackburn last year. Known for his giant murals incorporating the natural world, Curtis’s work is on the rise as his animal and plant-inspired pieces become ever more popular.

Rochdale Street art mural

Nomad Clan (Church Lane)

 This piece by festival organisers Nomad Clan can be found on the side of what is now the Regal Moon pub.

Their projection idea was inspired by the fact the building was once a cinema, and the design, which features symbolic elements like the wind turbines and cotton trading, aims to portray Rochdale through the ages.

First opened in 1938, the cinema started out as the Regal before becoming the ABC and the Cannon. The mural they’ve created shows an old projector playing the story of Rochdale’s industrial growth on the wall.
