Nice one munki. I have four more locations for the Monacle to look at yet. It's getting the time for all this info! I'm planning to take advantage over the weekend & a few days off work next week for some seriously ill advised, mad cap ideas!.. Should be good then

After all the Monacle hysteria of recent days (not) i've just started up a Monacle appreciation society group where there will also be a few mad ideas & links to other stuff coming soon! http://flickr.com/groups/lmmas/

PhillD - you have FAR too much spare time on your hands! How do you do it? I'm VERY JEALOUS!

I don't have any spare time really. Work is a real pain.. doesn't it stop you doing things you want? Even if i wasn't working i still wouldn't have the time to do all the things I WANNA :-0

This one was on the side of a brothel at Hyde Park Corner on the A660 for a while. It's been painted over now. Was taken in April 06.I thought it had a nice warmth and friendliness.

This one is/was in the stairwell of a footbridge over the Leeds/Harrogate line accessed from Cardigan Road or Burley Park. My spies tell me it has now been defaced by lesser artists. I thought it was quite touching really. Taken early 06 I thinkJust for info the graffiti artist in question goes by the name of dedposh. These appear in Leeds (generally in the student areas) and also in Bristol. The premise then, Dr.Watson, is that he/she is from Bristol and attending one of the unis in Leeds.A quick search on flickr shows a few pics

Of course, all these monocles are only pale imitations of a lost original. Call as witness, the Tetley Huntsman.
