Grand designs: Before and after Turks graffiti
I’ve been blogging for about 3 years now, covering topics such as Reading FC’s breathtaking first season in the Premiership, the town’s dating scene, pubs and pies, and so on.
It’s graffiti, however, that consistently attracts the majority of visitors (the term accounted for 78% of searches in the last 30 days), most of whom are American, and all because of an image I posted of a beautifully painted wall.
So, here’s something to gorge on, graffiti lovers: the same wall (exterior wall of The Turks pub) as it was and how it looks today. Banksy it ain’t. I prefer the original.

I agree 100%. The old one was much better. Any ideas why they got rid of it?
