Summary edit
| Description |
English: Nirvana in Deepcar, Manchester Road, Deepcar. The fire which detroyed the 'Chipboard Store' in Deepcar also revealed this 'writing on the wall' ... Initially I thought it said MR VAN ... then I realised it says NIRVANA. Does anybody know why this was painted on this building ... and why? The Dictionary.com meaning of Nirvana is ... a place or state characterized by freedom from or oblivion to pain, worry, and the external world. Mmmmmmmm ... doesn't sound like Deepcar to me! 1734446 In August 2010 I have been contacted by Jonathan Clitheroe who writes "I would hazard Terry that this is a musical reference. Nirvana were a huge band between the release of their groundbreaking album Nevermind in 1991 up to the death of frontman Kurt Cobain in April 1994. I don't know if this timeline fits with your photo but a lot of the youth of the day including myself were well into 'grunge'. Personally I like any geograph with a musical link and try to seek out places where things musical happened." Mystery solved methinks ... thanks Jonathan. |
