First piece installed Sunday 22nd Oct 2023
Recruited as a member of Barrow Station Adoption Group I was keen to get involved with a scheme to beautify platform 2 with the addition of artwork along the fence. Some 20 months from first talking about the project, the first piece appeared. June 2025 and the Fantasy Woodland Section of artwork is almost complete. Leaves painted by kids from Lime Tree Nursery have been painted but now need to be varnished before completing the scene. All the boards for the project have been cut and securely fixed by Nick and prepared ready to paint and then varnished by Annette. The whole thing has been enhanced with flowers painted by local community groups. 96 artists, ranging in age from 4 to around 70, have painted a total of 109 flowers and 16 leaves to complete this community artwork. Barrow Station Adopters have previously added a sleeper wall and stunning planting along the whole length of platform 1 to make the station a welcoming place. Funding provided by EMR.
