William Mitchell murals in the pedestrian concourse of Hockley Flyover, Hockley Circus

The William Mitchell murals are three concrete relief artworks located in the pedestrian concourse of Hockley Flyover, designed by William Mitchell Design Consultants and completed by 1968.

These murals are made from cast, pigmented concrete and wrap around the underpass openings on the south-east and south-west sides of the concourse. Each mural showcases abstract patterns in deep relief, featuring unifying motifs such as donuts, sunbursts, and repeating geometric designs, while maintaining distinct characteristics for each panel.

The mural on the south-east side is thought to have originally been cast in white concrete and consists of geometric panels with deeply profiled surface finishes and textured areas that mimic natural rock. The terracotta wall includes triangular wedges and circular motifs interspersed with patterns that resemble Aztec symbols. The third mural, made of unpigmented concrete, displays a series of vertical ribs and shards that protrude at varying depths.
