One of 19 murals that commemorate the history of Southampton and the Holyrood Estate, the latter named after the nearby Holy Rood Church. The estate was designed in the 1950s/1960s by Lyons Israel Ellis, famous for his brutalist style architecture. It was built following the slum clearances subsequent to the bombing of the city during the Southampton blitz.. The 'Sailor's Church' refers to the nearby Holyrood Church, bombed in 1940 but later converted into a memorial to those who lost their lives serving in the Merchant Navy.
