Story
The Hither Green Mural Project
Help us create a bold and brilliant painted mural like this photographic impression, on the bridge at Ennersdale Road, Hither Green.
The railway runs right through the middle of our community with Hither green Station at the heart of everything.
We want to use a railway themed mural to enliven an unloved spot and link both sides of Hither Green.
Inspired by Lionel Stanhope's work at Herne Hill we are fundraising to create something just as strong in Hither Green and you can help make it happen!
Local artists Lionel Stanhope and Zara Gaze are ready and waiting to create the mural for us.
Network Rail have given us permission to work on the site - now all we have to do is raise the funds and our target is £2000 so please support our project. We plan to create the mural as early as July!

9 years agoHi everyone... the mural is happening! If you pass the bridge today - 4th of July there's plenty to see. Also most importantly we are having a party for all the supporters of the project on Thursday the 14th, meet at the bridge at 7.30pm... but please RSVP to me to let me know if you are able to come. It will be great fun so do try and make it. All the best Caroline and the Hither Green Murals team

9 years agoOn Saturday we are meeting at 10am under the bridge at Ennersdale Road to clean the area in preparation for painting the mural... can you come along to help? If you can please wear boots, long trousers, long sleeves - clothes that can get dirty as this is not a pretty job. Any questions please message me, even if it's just to wish us luck!

9 years agoAfter an afternoon in Manor House Gardens we've reached the target... many thanks to everyone that donated, bought badges and shown their support for this project. The mural should be painted during the early part of July - we are all so excited to have reached this milestone. Thanks so much for being a part of it. We did it ! Thanks everyone but even though I'm exhausted it doesn't really stop here. We want to create murals on either side of the station.. so keep on spreading the word and we can all make it happen.
