DARK SECRETS: The nottingham underpass covered in colourful graffiti that changes every week | Rare Historical Photos

A Nottingham underpass which is unknown to many is covered in colourful graffiti that changes every week. The subway underneath the Clifton flyover near Lenton Lane and Thane Road is likely unfamiliar to a lot of Nottingham residents, but hosts a wide array of array of paintings.

The brightly spray-painted tunnels are currently home to large cartoon illustrations, images of pop culture figures like Rocky Balboa and Bruce Lee, and a more unsettling Grim Reaper figure. According to those who come through the underpass regularly, the impressive pieces of street art are replaced every so often by newer additions - making sure the tunnels never remain the same for too long.

Despite graffiti being illegal and considered an act of criminal damage, some local residents have spoken of their fondness for the graffiti - with some even disappointed when their favourite parts were replaced. Neil Edwards, 38, who lives in Clifton and works for BCM Fareva, said: "It always looks pretty good, it's different to most stuff you see where people just write their names. I've even seen someone doing it while I've been waiting for a bus before.
