The Lost Cove is no more...

 

Some 9 years ago the underpass to Lawson's place in Moreton Hall was painted with a mural called "The Lost Cove". (You can see more photos of the original here). After a few years, though, it started getting defaced with graffiti. But now it has been repainted. 

This is the story, as reported here in the EADT.

"Kaine Williams is being remembered at an underpass in Bury St Edmunds that has new mural artwork. The brother of a young man who died from an asthma attack has said he is grateful graffiti of his name will be kept as part of an underpass art project. 

'RIP Kaine' appeared at the end of last year at the underpass near the Coffee House café on the Moreton Hall estate in Bury St Edmunds in tribute to Kaine Williams, who was from the area.  Kaine Williams, who died aged 24 last year, was well-known in Bury St Edmunds. The former King Edward VI student died in November 2020 at the age of 24 - and would have celebrated his 25th birthday last Friday, October 8.

As part of a community art project, the underpass is being repainted by professional artists with the aim of capturing Moreton Hall, but the Kaine graffiti is being kept - which is what his family and friends had wanted.

A plaque in memory of Kaine will also be part of the finished scheme."

Last month I saw the artists at work several times as I passed that way and it is now completed. Here are some more views of how it looks now...

Lovely! You can read more about the project here.
