Shipman   10 #1 Posted August 21, 2009 That old ZX Spectrum game character has been appearing in original paintings deposited on the river sidings of the Bridge (near The Bridge Inn) on Chesterfield Road.  A convoluted sentence regardless - is this a Heeley thing or have people spotted it elsewhere?  Anybody know who's responsible as I'd like one of these for my house?  Bring on Jet Set Willy!  ps/ will try and get some pics on my way to work tomorrow.

Richeh   10 #5 Posted August 21, 2009 Heh, he's made it as far as Chesterfield road, has he? First occurrance I saw of him was the cemetary wall, down by the stream on frog lane. He's spread a fair bit since then, there's been four or five of him in the frog lane area.  He keeps cropping up in different formats, propped up on a piece of board, or painted on a smashed mirror and nailed to a tree. I quite like it.  Also, in a drawer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
MonsterMash   10 #6 Posted August 21, 2009 I've found a couple of photos of good ol' Horace hanging around Sheffield on flickr - one in Endcliffe Park and on the photo stream there are a couple of others. I haven't made enough posts to put up a link, but if you Google 'Hungry Horace Endcliffe Park' it'll bring up the pictures. Aah nostalgia!

Â Aye, I'm sure its a drawer propped and its painted on the bottom of the inside of the drawer, I wonder how he got there. Perhaps they might be worth taking he could be the news Banksy!

Richeh   10 #8 Posted August 21, 2009 Trying to be the new Banksy, certainly. I don't think spectrum characters are quite enough like whiny socialist satire to be Banksy. It's too cheering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
