The Ale Corner Micropub, Hanley
These look like ideas for new Beano characters but this mural is part of a project launched by the Entrepreneurs clothing store in Piccadilly, a small cultural business area of Hanley. The paintings were put on by "45RPM", a Bristolian artist who paints, photographs anything and solely works on light-hearted graffiti, which relies on Cockney rhyming slang and other familiar old fashioned phrases from all over the UK. Apples and Pears, Full of Hot Air and Dog Tired are written on the wall.

He spent some time in the Potteries looking for inspiration and he said
