Karl Marx mosaic

Karl Marx kidnapped from Ventnor car park

Ventnor town councillor, Ken Knapman, has been in touch to report that someone has vandalised the fantastic “Ventnor Past and Present” mosaic display in Ventnor’s central car park and stolen the Karl Marx tile.

The mosaic display was created back in 2009 by a local mosaic group, led by Helen Goodman.

After some vandalism in 2011, the mosaics repaired and sat proudly in Ventnor car park, welcoming visitors and residents.

Alternatively you can always pop into the Community Cafe on Friday mornings to see the group working.
