AN EYE-CATCHING transformation of an alleyway to mark the history of an area has now been completed.

Arts company Brighton Think Big have completed the giant mural off George Street, Hove, following a month of hard spraying and rolling.

The mural captures a number of iconic images of Brighton and Hove.

These images include Richard Attenborough in Brighton Rock, historic images of George Street and Hove Lawns and bathing beach beauties from the 1950s.

The work has already attracted approving nods from many shoppers as well as Hove-based DJ Norman Cook who popped down for a surprise visit during the paint job.
