[Sussex] ‘Dean’ - graffiti

[Stoichkov]

Where is this? I can’t place it. Maybe it isn’t actually local? Do any ‘DEAN’ tags still exist or have they all gone now?

I’d hazard a guess that that is a bridge over the A27 accessing a farm on the north side just before the Shoreham flyover.

There used to be some graffiti on the support pillars of the flyover, with the unforgettable message ‘Doris Sucks’. Alas, that has disappeared - but where is Doris now?

Nope that bridge is different. I’m guessing it’s not local to Brighton.

Looks like the M6 between Cumberlandia and jockland.

I’m sure most of the DEAN graffiti was next to the M23, definitely remember seeing it sprayed near the top of the M23 near the M25.

Are you Dean?

With Dean!

Boom! Boom!

As @el punal has said its the bridge over the a27 North of Shoreham, the one that goes over to Mill Hill and the old Youth Hostel.

Was hoping he’d made a comeback, miss his work.

Always hoped he’d go big and re-tag the “give peas a chance” near junction 17 on the M25 - iconic

it's not though. Unless that Bridge was completely rebuilt since the photo was taken it is very different.

Also you can't see the Holmbush junction from there (as this street view from on the bridge shows).

With Dean!

Doris and Dean ?

What happened to Pearl

*edit* And now I have spent 5 mins of my life on this which I'm never getting back



God, the 70's truly were shit

Actually think that is where Ditchling Road crosses the A27 and that is the looking west towards the Hollingbury junction.

and the original photo to compare:

This is going to be as bad as the pub thread, isn't it?

you are right. I wonder if that's our near Lewes then?

I've convinced myself this the Ditchling Road bridge over the A27.

Even that bridge doesn't look anything like it. Not high enough, and with the wrong profile.

It's got the little ledge and the lines down the concrete. Think that the Hollingbury junction looks like the one in the original photo.
