Simon’s Taxis has arrived at Bondville Model Village 🚖

We’re delighted to be part of the miniature world at Bondville Model Village, where even our taxis are hard at work picking up passengers and exploring the sights. 😄

If you’re visiting Bondville, keep an eye out for the Simon’s Taxis model vehicle around the village. It’s fantastic to support a local attraction that celebrates the charm of Bridlington while showcasing local businesses.

A big thank you to the team at Bondville Model Village for featuring us, we’re proud to be part of this unique attraction.

There seems to be a small minority of people questioning both the cost and meaning behind the mural, so I want to put some facts and context out there.

The £125,000 figure being mentioned is not simply for paint on a wall or for one artist. It covers planning permission, legality checks, RAMS, PPE, skilled tradesmen, scaffolding, wall repairs and rendering, cherry picker and fencing hire, specialist paint and spray equipment, accommodation for the artist, and the huge amount of time, effort, research, planning, and coordination required to deliver projects of this scale safely and professionally.

It’s also important to point out that the funding pot is intended for wider projects around Bridlington, not just the two murals alone.

It also reflects the support and contributions from local entrepreneurs who helped make the project possible, and most importantly, the talent and skill needed to design and create two large-scale murals in Bridlington.

For those assuming the artist pocketed £125k, he didn’t. The artist himself only received around 4% of the total figure, which shows just how much goes into delivering safe, legal, large-scale public artwork beyond simply painting a wall.

On the Gansey Girl specifically, there have been comments saying she is not knitting a Gansey jumper and could be knitting anything. The artist, Sam Porter from Mural Minded, has explained that this was an artistic representation. The wool was intentionally designed to resemble waves, with the golden thread connecting into the jackdaw’s claws and flowing back into the community, symbolising a close-knit community, harmony with nature, and a “heart of gold”.

It is a Gansey-inspired design created through artistic interpretation. Traditional Ganseys were not only dark blue; they also featured a variety of patterns inspired by ropes and fishing heritage, which are reflected within the artwork.

Also, one of the images currently being shared online has been digitally altered by somebody else to include a face in the sea. That was never part of the original mural or the artist’s intended design.

I shared the picture thinking it was a bit spooky.👻

Public art like this is not “just paint on a wall”, it is a carefully planned cultural project designed to celebrate Bridlington’s identity, heritage, and community for many years to come.
