| Barry Finch employed art students to paint a [[Psychedelia|psychedelic]] style mural, designed by the Fool, across the building's facades between 10 and 12 November 1967. The concept was borrowed from the painting of the facades of the [[Lord John]] shop in Carnaby Street, albeit executed to a figurative design with greater density and colour.<ref>[http://abbeyrd.best.vwh.net/simonposthuma.html An interview with Simon Posthuma of The Fool<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110827034828/http://abbeyrd.best.vwh.net/simonposthuma.html |date=27 August 2011 }}</ref> | Barry Finch employed art students to paint a [[Psychedelia|psychedelic]] style mural, designed by the Fool, across the building's facades between 10 and 12 November 1967.
