Peter Liversidge – Sign Paintings at Mile End Park, London












Since 10 April this year Peter Liversidge is installing a still growing group of more than 300 signs at Roman Road near Grove Road at the corner of Mile End Park in London. The signs show support, ask attention for and thank the NHS and other front-line workers like bin men, postal workers, teachers, bus drivers and lots of volunteers in these times of the Covid-19 crisis.

Peter Liversidge says about his signs of the times '... It is along the lines of an open letter to the NHS, care providers, bin men, post office workers, bus drivers and many others to say thank you for doing what they do, which  before lockdown was often overlooked or taken for granted.
