When I have been discussing Far Gosford Street with the client, London's Brick Lane is constantly discussed. They wish to be the Coventry version of Brick Lane, and through research it is clear to me why. I have noticed that brick lane was very much like Far Gosford Street. Its architecture dates from many centuries and there is a miss-match of shops and fast food places. New, badly designed fast food signs and shop frontages litter the street. However, the street began attracting artists and designers and now it has been transformed into the creative place to be in London. It holds regular exhibitions and houses galleries and street artists. The street is incredibly colourful and vibrant. Every part of the street has been modified creatively.
Colour is the key element of the street. Vivid reds, blues, pinks, greens, yellows , oranges and purples plaster the street. Artists will be commisioned on Far Gosford Street to liven the place up. Until then, this vision is an idealised future.
