The scaffolding is currently covering the mural-style advertisement for SE & A Ridley.

The advertisement is painted on the wall in white and blue and is an instantly recognisable hallmark of the town.

How the SE & A Ridley mural normally appears

The SE & A Ridley Warehouse is a Grade II listed building which bears a brown plaque telling of the building’s history.

The plaque tells how the building was one of many warehouses from when the River Severn was a highway for the transportation of merchandise.

Between the warehouse and the towpath was a small dock where goods were hoisted into the warehouse.

Flood levels were also recorded on the side of the building.
