New artwork welcomes passengers to South Yorkshire station
The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) has unveiled new colourful artwork welcoming passengers to Swinton station in South Yorkshire.
The ‘Welcome to Swinton’ mural, which now takes pride of place at the station, was created by Artworks, a not-for-profit creative arts organisation helping adults with learning disabilities through creative workshops.
The unveiling event, organised by SYMCA, was attended by Northern and station adoption groups Friends of Swinton, Friends of Mexborough, and Friends of Chapeltown.
Kerry Peters, regional director at Northern said: “I would like to say a huge thank you to the everyone involved for all their hard work.
“The mural can now be enjoyed by everyone in the community, and it brings a wonderful splash of colour to the station.”
More artwork is currently on display in the waiting room, created by GCSE students in partnership with SYMCA.
