Murals bring city's 'rich history' to life

Works at Potteries Centre to celebrate centenary

- Hayley Parker

GIANT murals depicting Stoke-on-Trent's heritage have been created at Hanley's Potteries Centre as part of the centenary celebrations.

Artist Rob Fenton teamed up with SEND children from Pinc College to paint the large-scale artworks showcasing the stories, people and achievements that have shaped the city over the the last century.

The murals, in the Quadrant Road walkway, depict a tale of two halves. Students from Pinc College took inspiration from the city's everyday moments, illustrating the spirit of Stoke-on-Trent through depictions of its people, neighbourhoods, and daily life.

Working alongside local artist Tom Edwards, the students have created a homage to the community that makes the city thrive.
