The Graffiti of HMSO and Anglia Square, Coslany, Norwich - 22nd November 2023

Nosher's up in Norwich to pick up a cornet from the repair shop, and to visit the PMT music shop on New Botolph Street to get a new drum stool and some sticks. Whilst there, there's time to look around the old HMSO building, and the area in and around Anglia Square, where there's much graffiti and general urban despair.
