Golborne 1 Mosaic. Urban Eye produced two mosaics in 2005 in Golborne Road which transformed featureless walls prone to fly-tipping and tagging into popular local features. This first one was created with young people from the Venture Centre and included a painted trompe l’oeil section over the door to give the effect of a continuous design, however the door was replaced.
