‘British Pond Life’ is an ebullient mid-1960s ceramic mural by Kenneth Barden. It is part of Halifax Swimming Pool, a fine building itself, which the council are proposing to demolish (for a car park). Isn't it gorgeous...
Kenneth Barden is a new name to me, but he was also responsible for these huge abstract unglazed mosaic murals running all the way up these tower blocks in Gosport.
