A huge – and hugely popular – new mural in Preston city centre will remain in place after town hall officials concluded that it did not harm the listed building on which it had been painted without planning permission.The ‘Mother’ artwork appeared on the side of Hogarths gin bar on Church Street in July. However, as the Local Democracy Reporting Service revealed last month,
A report explaining why the 10-metre-by-five-metre mural had been granted permission states that it “does not appear out of place” – and actually adds visual interest to the previously bare side wall of the 1890s building, which was originally a Conservative working men’s club. Responding to the news that the mural can stay, Gary Roberts, operations director of Blackpool-based Amber Taverns, which owns and operates Hogarths, told the LDRS that there was “wide-ranging appreciation” for the creation – and suggested that it should be the first of many in Preston.
“Let’s be part of something much bigger that can encourage youngsters off the consoles and street corners and help them create art for the next generation. “It has been really refreshing to read all of the comments and I thank everyone that took the time to email planning permission in support of ‘Mother’.
