There are fourteen panels, each celebrating an aspect of the history and people of the town.
Information boards give more details of what the murals represent.
They are bright, colourful and really cheer up Port Glasgow's station.
A information board states that -
"Local children from St John's Primary
School, members of the Port Glasgow Community Council and members from the Old
Men's Club worked with artists Karen Patton Orr and Jim Strachan from RIG Arts,
an Inverclyde based, socially engaged arts, film and media charity, to research
and develop its content, to capture the spirit of the town, past and
present."
They've certainly done a fantastic job in capturing some of the highlights of Port Glasgow's history.
Great murals showing the city's history. I like the one with the train.

ReplyDeleteI think they're brilliant! What an excellent and relevant way to brighten up the train station.. even better that it was a community endeavour!
ReplyDeleteDream-like seems to be my default comment this week. The first two photos with their super-imposed images are so evocative of the town's history. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.

ReplyDeleteMany thanks for this posting. I lived in the shadow of that big green crane as a boy so the picture brings back many memories. Very proud to see my wee cousin Jim doing such great work too.
