  • Nice pictures oat44 esp the second one
    you're showing off your camera skillz ;)

  • I think it is obvious, but then they always are when you know them.

    Too far for me to get to at the moment though.

    i'll get it tomorrow if it's not gone by then obvs

    I'm riding across London tomorrow, so will get it if no one else has...

    I have a bicycle and live in London so if this is not done by the new year I'll get it

    Genesis The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway - YouTube

  • i'll get it tomorrow if it's not gone by then obvs

  • Sorry Nick - sheer laziness is stopping me from getting this one. Tomorrow, tomorrow

  • Dibs.

  • I've never come across the building this tag is on before, how have I missed it?
    Interesting stories/clues to this tag :)

  • Old: 55 Broadway. the old London Electric Railway Headquarters

    New: ?

    sorry for the darkness i may tweak it in potatochop demain.

    fuck my hat it's cold out there.

  • rep for blitz tag

  • It's going to be freezing and/or snowing in the next few days so a decent clue might help to keep things moving before then.

  • It's in the City of London

    correcto

    cheers hombre.

  • Well done, malandro. I knew where it was but couldn't get down there.

  • Yay! Thanks malandro. For those who didn't get it, it was Jacob Epstein's controversial 'Day' sculpture, 1928, carved directly into the Portland Stone of the new HQ of what became London Underground. Newspapers were outraged at the time by the graphic nudity of the boy and set up a campaign for London Underground to remove it. Frank Pick, the man behind so much of London Underground's bold and distinctive design we still see today, threatened to resign if the newspapers had their way. At the last moment, Epstein climbed a ladder and chiseled 1.5 inches off the offending protrusion and the sculpture was saved.

  • There are also carvings there by Eric Gill and Henry Moore of the north and east winds IIRC. Appropriate for the weather. I was going to go yesterday but had too much on.

    Epstein's Rock drill was the first modern sculpture I loved as a boy - still got a soft spot for a bit or Vorticist English modernism

  • Me too. Rock drill is like something out of Star Wars. If Tate had their head on they'd sell Rock Drill action figures!

  • i took another photo of the new tag this morning. is it bad form to stick it up as an additional clue?

  • Nope.

  • another view of the new tag:

    these guys might know where it is:

    (if someone with the dark arts could make that appear smaller...)

  • Hmm. so i think I cycle past that twice a day. I still don't recognise it though...

  • If you don't recognise it hoe do you know you ride past it twice a day?

  • Based on the clue...

  • Streetview says no.. hmm
