Graffiti of Sneck

[dougiedanger]

Does anyone mind round the back of the Cummings Hotel on the lane that led up to Geordie Horne's 'barber's' there was a really long piece of graffiti that was a scathing critique of the people of Sneck, to the effect that they/we  were nothing but "stupid little village people" who "didn't know how to live"?

It was written in joined-up writing and was striking in its bitterness. 70s/80s.

Anyone mind it, or any other good bits of graffiti?

You used to see CaLeY everywhere you went. Also, off Telford Street they still have that bit of corrugated iron with all bands from the 70s/80s, Ruts, Heaven 17, Slaughter and the Dogs, etc. Crystal Palace, too. Must be the oldest bit of graffiti in town.

Mind also at the back of the Caley Park, just after winning the league one year, certain characters proudly proclaimed in writing, "Caledonion Champions."

Back in the 60s (early 60s possibly) a lot of places in Inverness became inscribed with KOFFITUP which was the Aberdeen students' charity slogan.

Could have been worse. Could have been "Caledonion Champion's"

Ah yes, the days when stray apostrophe's were as rare as rabid cybernats.

KYT was daubed everywhere, ran the toon.

Apart from areas where it read HMC.

Pah, the Chipper Mob were no match.

Carse Road - Beware of the Animals. Norman Gordon made Howden End badges and "You have just met the Caley Animals" calling cards

I remember someone spray painted "Welcome To Dalneigh" on the wooden fence at the top of Caley Road. I know who it was that it was alleged to have done it....but his name escapes me for now.

That corrugated fence, just to the side of Telford Street, with the bands name on it, hasnt deterioted in the 35 yrs or so that its been there. Looks as tho the fence was recently put up and sprayed on. Makes me smile when i pass it. A real throwback to the 80's

I mind that Welcome to Dalneigh, what a nice sentiment!

Mind the Bumbers' Lane was well covered, too.

Think ah know who did the corrugated fence job, though it was probably a group effort. Must have been high quality paint ffs.

Was that "The Sheriff's Fence" (a 60s one that, though) on the crossroads with Rangemore Road and Dochfour Drive?

Would that have been Sheriff Borrie?
