IT could be classed as an early example of graffiti.
When a concrete wall appeared at Iffley, in Oxford, in 1961, objectors made no secret of their opposition.
Their message was neatly painted on it in large capital letters.
Someone later added the word ‘please’.
A stone wall had long been a feature of the south and east sides of Church Way from Iffley Turn to the village.
But during the winter of 1960-61 winter, part of it had collapsed.
The owner replaced it with a concrete wall, much to the indignation of many Iffley villagers.
Some felt so strongly that they complained to Oxford City Council planning officials.
It took a year for negotiations between the council and the owner to be successful.
Eventually, however, demolition workers moved in and a new stone wall was built in its place.
