A few from newtown
C&C as always welcome... If you’re alone with your friend in the woods and a tiger’s chasing you, you don’t have to be faster than the tiger, you have to be faster than your friend.
Rob,
Great shots, especially the third. Keith is right. And wrong. 
What were you trying to capture? If the posters/images, then fine, you may safely ignore Keith.
But if you're trying to capture the atmosphere - the feel - of Newtown (or wherever) then perhaps some of the surrounding elements would help to put these images into a context. g.
Gary Stark Nikon, Canon, Bronica .... stuff The people who want English to be the official language of the United States are uncomfortable with their leaders being fluent in it - US Pres. Bartlet
Newtown - graffiti wonderland and your shots illustrate this superbly

Keith, Gary, Chris... Thanks for all the comments guys... Much appreciated.
Gary, tbh I set out more to find images that would work alone, but also had a hint of support to the main area of interest. eg: #1 the lock indicating a door. #2 the horizontal lines where the brickwork had been painted over. #3 id like to do more with and play around with pp a little, and see if i can give it an older look perhaps like something from the natzi era. #4 for no reason
Portraying the city of newtown other than graffiti id probably go with something along the lines of: 
Just my opinion tho... If you’re alone with your friend in the woods and a tiger’s chasing you, you don’t have to be faster than the tiger, you have to be faster than your friend.
I, once upon a time, owned a house in Union Street. This street was indicative of the opposites that Newtown offers. At one end of the street a typical sawdust and spit hotel with the usual suspects - middle aged men with pot bellies.
At the other end of the street another pub with whipped cream young men who stroked your palm when offering change over the bar 
In between these two extremes lived the one and only Mr Alan Jones - I wonder which hotel he frequented  Chris
