Give Peas A Chance - Bridge over M25

Give Peas A Chance - Bridge over M25 London based Graffiti artist who goes by the name of PEAS. He added his name on the bridge, and later some other clever clogs added the full phrase!

Constructed between 1902 and 1906, the Chalfont viaduct is of a standard design commonly seen on Great Western rail lines and is constructed of blue/black engineering brick with decorative brickwork including projecting brick imposts on the piers and parapet wall and bullnose brickwork defining the semi-elliptical archways. The brickwork has several areas of mortar repair and occasional loose or m

issing bricks but is generally of good condition. The viaduct remains largely as constructed, despite the addition of the M25 motorway beneath its central arches in the mid 1980s. These works included the raising of the ground level for the carriageway and the re-routing of the River Misbourne through concrete culverts beneath ground level. A low brick retaining wall was added to the westernmost pier to provide stability for a farm track. Further concrete supports are used above the track to support the embankment. Current works to expand the M25 at this point will include the replacement of the crash barriers and removal of the hard shoulder, thus allowing the motorway to have four lanes in each direction running beneath the viaduct. New crash barriers fixed to the base of the piers adjacent to the motorway will be narrower and provide the viaduct with protection. The viaduct is one of many surviving viaducts of similar construction from this date, however it is unique in being the only brick built bridge on this stretch of the M25 and is a local landmark for road users. This report serves as a record of the viaduct condition, appearance and function prior to these works.

The bridge in Buckinghamshire used to have a message saying "Give Peas a chance" painted on it.

I made it to Number 21 of all ‘friendly’ graffiti in the world.

Even the simplest scribbles have a purpose of expressing an opinion, frustration, or simply affirmation that one exists and wants to be heard.

Michael Purdy is the notorious graffiti artist who spray painted the word HELCH near Windsor Castle, according to his friends. The Queen is said to be miffed about the giant white letters.

RANDOM graffiti doesn’t usually ignite so much passion in people, but for many weary Londoner’s on their commute home via the M25 motorway, a message emblazoned across a railway bridge became iconic.

So Marc has a 3 year old son.... they are advising in his weekly parenting update what to do when your child says “Yuck, Peas”

I am not sure why the original advice on the blog has been crossed out and someone has written “Give Helch A Break” there instead.

How is he ever going to get his son to eat Peas now?
