In previous posts I have looked at the street art that can be found around The Baltic Triangle and in the area close to London Road . In this post I will consider the art that can be found in and around Oldham Place as well a few other locations.
Oldham Place is quite hidden away and is not the sort of place you’d casually stumble across on a walk in the city. It can be found just off Roscoe Street which runs between Mount Pleasant and Leece Street. The nearest local landmark is The Bombed Out Church. The Roscoe Head is a very fine public house that you will also come across on Roscoe Street.
Oldham Place is the home of Zap Graffiti, here you can buy art supplies or take a graffiti art class held on Saturday afternoons. It has much to offer and gives a second reason to visit, if one were needed.
In the yard round the back there is a huge Back to the Future piece that takes up a whole wall.
The use of colour on some of the pieces is quite outstanding.
From the splendours of Oldham Place a short walk will bring you to the following locations.
Slater Street. Home to three pieces that formed part of the Contrast Mural Festival in Spring 2018.
Fleet Street
