From the Wikipedia article
I Love You Will U Marry Me was a message added as graffiti to a high concrete bridge at the Park Hill housing estate in Sheffield in April 2001, after the estate was listed at Grade II in 1998 and before a full refurbishment of the estate began in 2006.

The neon signage and underlying graffiti were removed due to maintenance work in 2021, but reinstated in 2022.
