HMS Birkenhead Street-Art Mural
HMS Birkenhead, also referred to as HM Troopship Birkenhead or Steam Frigate Birkenhead, was one of the first iron-hulled ships built for the Royal Navy. She was designed as a steam frigate, but was converted to a troopship before being commissioned. She was wrecked on 26 February 1852, while transporting troops to Algoa Bay at Danger Point near Gansbaai, 87 miles (140 kilometres) from Cape Town in the Cape Colony. There were not enough serviceable lifeboats for all the passengers, and the soldiers famously stood firm on board, thereby allowing the women and children to board the boats safely and escape the sinking. Only 193 of the estimated 643 people on board survived, and the soldiers' chivalry gave rise to the unofficial "women and children first" protocol when abandoning ship, while the "Birkenhead drill" of Rudyard Kipling's poem came to describe courage in face of hopeless circumstances. This mural was painted in appalilng weather conditions in January 2020 by Liverpool artist, Paul Curtis. It is located on the side of Gallagher's Traditional Pub, located in Birkenhead, overlooking the River Mersey.
Tyrannosaurus Rex street art new ferry
T-Rex
The ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex stomping his authority over New Ferry. The king of the dinosaurs. Captured in a barren, volcanic landscape beneath blue skies, populated by pterodactyls.
This mural was painted by Paul Curtis as part of Phase 2 of the New Ferry (Wirral) Mural Festival in 2020. It is on the outside of the old Alice Place Pub which is undergoing a refurbishment and will re-open as The Magic Tree, a children's' soft play centre.
The mural is actually to the scale of a full grown adult T- Rex, so you can imagine just what it was like to have one prowling the streets!
Two Dogs & A Sprinkler new ferry
Two Dogs & A Sprinkler
This huge mural is incredibly striking and incorporates alot of fun and energy. Dogs love a garden sprinkler and these two are full of the joy of summer, jumping in and out of the water jets. One is a sheepdog and the other is a red terrier (based on the owner's own dog. This is also a very popular piece - dogs are a winner it seems!
A very enjoyable piece. I love dogs so I had great fun painting this. The central porch made manoeuvring a tad difficult, but the biggest decision was knowing when to stop adding water drops and spray.
Winston Bulldog street art mural new ferry
Winston Bulldog
This grumpy old fella has proven very popular amongst the New Ferry locals, particularly the kids from the nearby school. Winston stands guard at the Bulldog Pub, keeping an eye out for any wrong-uns, so behave yourself! The owners of the pub do in fact have a couple of bulldogs of their own, so they were keen on this design.
This was actually relatively easy to paint, but its often the simple ones that turn out to be the most loved ones. The gale force winds that week did make it a bit more fun!
