Peel Graffiti in Chester

Found it.  It's on Sealand Road (A548) just opposite the chippie.  
It's on the local rec, known as 'The Cop' - used to play down there 
as kids in the 50's.  'Cycle path' is a bit misleading, as the 
National Cycleway Route 5 (from Chester to Queensferry via Shotton) 
is about a mile north of here.  I think he must mean the newly 
created Chester to Shotton riverside footpath.

Went down there this afternoon and took some pics:
