Newly added pictures of the mural mosaic on a recycling theme, at Harold Hill, Romford. Romford is on the outskirts of north east London. The artists involved in this project included the co-founder of the Treatment Rooms.

Known as “les rochers sculptés”, the carved rocks on the coast at Rothéneuf (near St Malo, Brittany, northern France) were the work of Abbé Adolphe Julien Fouré (1839-1910). He sculpted around 300 carvings in a small area of the rocky coastline. He carried out the work at the end of the 19th century, over the course of 25 years. Abbé Fouré was a reclusive priest who was deaf and mute as a result of a stroke. He found self expression in the heads, figures and mythical beasts that he carved from the solid granite overlooking the sea. This collection is considered a classic example of outsider art.

The Watts Mortuary Chapel at Compton, near Guildford, Surrey, is a remarkable building. It was built in memory of the painter George Frederic Watts by his widow, Mary, in 1895. The chapel is decorated with terracotta on the inside and out. The inside has elaborate murals on the walls. The design is Art Nouveau with themes borrowed from, for example, Celtic art. There is a labyrinth motif on the corbels outside, repeated on the gilded terracotta altar.

The Watts Gallery is nearby. G F Watts created the memorials in Postman’s Park, London.
