St Raphaels Catholic Church, Millbrook - mural 1966

A mural depicting the miracle of the loaves and fishes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feeding_the_multitude The position of this mural can be seen in Image, taken at the same time as this, but in Image, taken in 2007, it has been replaced by a geometric design. This church was built in 1958. http://chs.ourmob.org/chs664.php This mural appears to have been painted on tiles rather than fired in as with maiolica. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maiolica In this image, eight years after the church opened, there appear to be bits of the paint flaking off. Clearly it got worse and they abandoned it altogether.
