Mayor's delight as 'Great Wall of Grimsby' art project celebrates heritage of town

A 'highlight' of mayoral year - Cllr Beasant with those involved 

TOWN artists were joined by North East Lincolnshire’s Mayor, Cllr Steve Beasant, for this week's official 'unveiling' of a magnificent new mural depicting cherished scenes in Grimsby.

The Great Wall of Grimsby, which can be found on the Needham’s Butchers building in Garibaldi Street, includes meticulously detailed characters, shopfronts, buildings and lost landmarks.

Artist Dale Mackie designed the new mural which was painted over several months by Sam Delaney and scores of volunteers from the arts group Creative Start CIC.

"This is  absolutely amazing,"enthused the Mayor. "This is really celebrating the heritage of the town. It means so much to me. It’s one of the highlights of my mayoral year.

"My sincere thanks to all those who participated."

Doesn't it look grand? All eyes on the mural
