Long time since I've been in there but it is one of the best carved signatures I've ever seen. Very nicely done.

It was good to find that. Couldn't believe it when I saw it for real, though I had seen a pic of it before. Never found any other graff quite like it yet.

There are other examples of similar quality, but they aren't common.

Just had a look back through old pics and new i had seen that before 🙂 Tis a really nice bit of Graffiti and very different to the one next to it

Interestingly a friend did some research into the name Spark a while ago in the area and by local census apparently there is still a Spark family member living in Garrigill 🙂
