Some of you might be aware that I've been mapping the location and condition of #CofiwchDryweryn murals for the past few years.

I've got a window of opportunity to update the map today, so if you happen to know of any examples that might be new, removed or altered, send them my way.

Here is the link to the map and how it looked when I last updated it about a month ago.

Cofiwch Dryweryn mapping project. – Google My Maps

An attempt to map all existing and recorded examples of murals connected to the Cofiwch Dryweryn 'movement', and monitor the condition of examples. This is a work in progress and will change on a regular basis. We would benefit from additional entries, images and updates. A Welsh language translation of entries would also be welcomed. Queries can be related to [email protected].

@gomez @jaz ha, thank you - do you know when this one first went up (looks a little weathered, so wondering if I've missed a much earlier example)?

@DrDaveH
I don't sorry, I took the image in August when I was in PT delivering a training course at Blanco's.

Maybe @TheBeastOfBaglan can help date it.

@gomez @TheBeastOfBaglan @jaz no worries, I always add two dates on the map, one for the first recording, and then the most recent visual condition report - I can always push the first date back if others have the info. Still useful information.

@DrDaveH @gomez @jaz It appreared there in the big rush of them, when they went up all around Cymru....a few years ago!!

@TheBeastOfBaglan @gomez @jaz yep, it's one of the reason's I started to map them, I was curious to track the geographic spread of murals, but also local responses - to see if there was push-back or protection for the new examples. I wrote a chapter on it about a year back, exploring those themes.

@TheBeastOfBaglan ha, possibly - though I know a few of the group members ask now (because I keep on harassing the group for the locations 😄 ).

@TheBeastOfBaglan @gomez @jaz all sorted and figured out now - so it was on the map, but just in the wrong place - all tidy now!

@DrDaveH Ah yes..... I see we are both having this same conversation with each other on FB!! hehe😂

@TheBeastOfBaglan I'm clearly chasing this on too many social media platforms (having the same chat about one of these examples over on Twitter as well lol|).

@TheBeastOfBaglan labour of love, been trying to keep a handle on the murals worldwide for the last few years now.
