DRUGS: detail from the dressing floor. Botallack, West Penwith, Cornwall
The graffiti is now in a much degraded state. ‘SMDT’ is no longer legible and is hardly discernible from the other layers of text that encroach on it. The remainder of the group are suffering a similar fate. ‘LOOK AT THE SUN’ and ‘CONSERVATIVES!’ are in a similar predicament to ‘SDMT’. In some cases just a vague outline of the text [all of them upper case] or a small number of grains of spray paint now exists. More than one, for all intents and purposes, is non existent. ‘ENGLISH OUT’ has been re-emphasised in white spray paint at sometime in the past which is also in an advanced state of decay. ‘KERNOW VYS BY KEN’ is the largest and most prominent of the four and is in the best condition. A likely reason for this is that it is in a more sheltered position saved from the worst of the inclement weather and protected in part from being in the left hand corner.
