Students from Suffolk New College have brought extra colour to Ipswich railway station with a series of murals on the older footbridge across the tracks.
The project, funded by the East Suffolk Lines Community Rail Partnership, saw art and design learners from the College work together with Greater Anglia to revamp the bridge.
One of the students involved in the partnership is Poppy Porter, 19, from Ipswich.
She said: “It makes me feel proud of my accomplishments and gives my work value. I’m hoping it will get my work out there and I’ll gain some connections.”
Aaron Lockwood is an art and design lecturer at Suffolk New College.
Aaron said: "All the work is related to Ipswich and Suffolk. We’d like to thank Greater Anglia, Ipswich rail station and the East Suffolk Lines Community Rail Partnership for this opportunity.”
Alan Neville, Greater Anglia’s customer and community engagement manager, said, “We are very grateful to the community rail partnership, Suffolk New College and of course, the talented artists who have transformed the footbridge into a vibrant art gallery following its refurbishment.”
