I may have the name of the pub wrong but... Did they just paint over a significant mural on the side of the pub?

I know people don't consider murals important but this one was painted by a significant artist

 

Mural by Remi/Rough, side wall of The Bishop, Crawthew Grove and Lordship Lane, East Dulwich, London SE22 8EW

I hadn’t realised it had been painted over. Seems a damn shame. 

It wasn't one of the murals connected with the project reinterpreting  paintings from Dulwich Picture Gallery, so far as I know,  so I guess nobody was protecting it or bothered about it, sadly.

It was awful, in my opinion.

I liked it! 

I'm very glad the one on the side of what is now The Lordship has gone though.

But sad about the one which used to be up by The Plough and was painted over with something else completely.

I hear it's going to replaced by William Bouguereau's 1850 Dante and Virgil in Hell, or Mattia Preti's Martyrdom of St Peter, circa 1660.

Nah, the windows of the men’s bogs are in the wrong place for either of those.

Just because something is abstract doesn’t make it dull… 

Also the artist is a respected artist who has created street art all over london and the world. Commissioned by councils as well. The piece deserved to be protected

What piece needs to be protected, the one that's been painted over?  

Was on Crawthew Grove yesterday morning talking to a lady about the new mural. Because it's on the side of The Bishop she said the new artwork should be a bishop banging his bishop. Not sure why she was giggling. Anyway, thought this was a good idea so I've emailed Justin Welby and Rowan Williams to see if they'd like to get involved. Keep you posted   x

    • Wouldn't it make more sense to ask the guy who posted the rumours for the source of the information? The Crown & Greyhound refurb was a big job - not surprising that it took longer than just a simple repainting. But renovating the Grove would be even bigger because it's totally wrecked, and there's a shortage of skilled labour and much more expensive materials now...
    • Rather bizarrely, I received a text from TJ surgery offering this service. To be clear, no data was asked for in the text so I don't suspect a scam but surely this is dodgy? Where does my DNA info end up and who would have access? I'm going to the surgery on the invite date to ask precisely this.
    • I used Emmaus https://emmaus.org.uk/slc/ to clear my grandfathers house last year. They were great. They all charge for this service so will come and give you a quote first.  
    • Hi, does anyone know of any charities or companies that can come and clear your house to be donated for a good cause? I know the British heart foundation does but wondering if there are others? We are moving overseas and hoping to donate most of our belongings in one swoop if we can! Thanks.
