Continuing with the Stroudie Central graffiti and street art theme where we’re taking a look at the graffiti around the Stroud valleys there’s a dilapidated old factory unit at Brimscombe that’s full of it.
It’s between The Felt Cafe and the Wimberley Mill housing development and is accessed from the canal path.
The approach to it is along an overgrown track off the canal path. You’re greeted by lots of odd sounds as you enter the building making it a little spooky if you’ve not been before.
Even if you have, you’d probably be on heightened awareness as you never know who or what might be lurking in the shadows.
The noises are caused by pigeons as large sections of the roof are missing, so no mystery there.
The missing roof kind of helps as it lets in the light bringing the paintings to life.
Every bit of wall space has been used as a canvas. Even the outbuildings have been painted, inside and out.
The main roof supports look sound, but be aware of sizable pieces of metal hanging precariously from the ceiling if you go for a look. You enter at your own risk.
Some of the art is obviously from the same person that works under the bridge on the cycle track at Woodchester.
I presume the building will be knocked down at some point as it’s right on the edge of a new housing development and serves no commercial purpose.
