BELGARUM was surprised to see this mural on the side of the new Jigsaw store on Winchester High Street. Presumably it has planning permission from the city council as it may spark other traders to consider doing the same. Celebrating the return of Jigsaw to the High Street, it adorns the side of the building on the corner of Little Minster Street and could be easily missed. Belgarum likes it but it could perhaps have been bigger. If going to create such a mural why not make it really big? In for a penny, in for a pound, after all.
