A splash of colour; Morecambe's mural

  • Resumen

  • The promenade may be where most visitors head for but in part of Morecambe some of the town's buildings are getting a colourful makeover.

    There are already posters and artwork depicting some of the area's well known characters in the town centre but now a new mural has been unveiled just off the prom.

    A seagull eating chips and Morecambe's 'bird man' - John Wilkinson who was jailed in 2014 after breaching an anti-social behaviour order to limit his bird feeding habit - is the subject of the artwork on the gable rear of the Old Pier Bookshop.

    It's stunning and is the work of artists Matty Green and Harry Mills.

    Matty gave us a guided tour of this and his other artworks which he hopes will spark widespread interest in a side of Morecambe visitors don't yet appreciate.

    Notes:

    2' We hear how work is already underway to brighten up the town's lesser known areas.

    9' What is the reaction of the mural's nearest neighbour?

    10' What's next...?
