For a long while I have feared that this hoarding in Greenbank would be removed on completion of the development behind it, but for one reason or another (I just checked on the Interweb, and it appears that the original developer went bankrupt) work has stalled, giving the spot a stay of execution.

This is a lovely piece by Nips, a rather underrated graffiti writer in my opinion, whose work is notable for the wonderful fills she incorporates into her work. The letters ‘NIPS’ are bounded with three borders, white, yellow and orange, that provide a great buffer between her work and the piece she overwrote, without the need for any buffing. The light conditions can be difficult in this spot, and the photographs are a little mottled with light and shade, perhaps not doing the piece justice.
