Subway mural - detail. Photographed in 1999.

Location: Under the beginning of Sheffield Parkway, Blast Lane Subway, Park Square.

Description: The walls of the subway are completely tiled. The design shows a number of different fruit. Each tile is 23.5 cm long x 11.5 cm high. The walls are roughly 32 m long and 2.2 m high and are covered in over 5,000 tiles.
