War memorials

Street art

In 2014 local street artist Liam Dean was commissioned to create a billboard-sized piece of art to reflect the thoughts and words of our community through the generations.

Liam's work was inspired by poetry created by the community. Students from Holy Family RC & CE College, Matthew Moss High School and Service Veteran Harry Mills wrote poetry about World War I. Ray Stearn, Young Person’s Library Worker, created 2 poems from the students' words for Liam to work with.

The final artwork was filmed as the painting took place.
