Painted in June 2019, Paul painted this mural of John Lennon for the Liverpool based opticians, Johnny Goggles. Painted on shutters, which does pose challenges but the final result looks amazing. There has been nothing but praise for the Paul and his mural. The owners were more than pleased with the final result wanting to keep the shutter closed so they could see the mural more.

HMS Birkenhead was one of the first iron-hulled ships built for the Royal Navy. She was designed as a steam frigate, but was converted to a troopship before being commissioned.
She was wrecked on 26 February 1852, while transporting troops to Algoa Bay at Danger Point near Gansbaai, 87 miles (140 kilometres) from Cape Town in the Cape Colony. There were not enough serviceable lifeboats for all the passengers, and the soldiers famously stood firm on board, thereby allowing the women and children to board the boats safely and escape the sinking. Only 193 of the estimated 643 people on board survived, and the soldiers' chivalry gave rise to the unofficial "women and children first" protocol when abandoning ship, This mural was painted in appalling weather conditions in January 2020 by Liverpool artist, Paul Curtis, located on the side of Gallagher's Traditional Pub, located in Birkenhead, overlooking the River Mersey.
