Street Art In Leicester, Townsend RD - Enderby, LE19


A disused toilet block on Townsend Road in the center of the Leicestershire village of Enderby has been transformed with a Street Art/Mural piece by artists Rebecca Bromley and Ellie-Rose.
Enderby Mission Church and Enderby Parish Council commissioned the work depicting various scenes from Enderby`s History after securing a grant from the Enderby Co-op 'Local Community Causes' fund.
The artists met with Enderby Heritage Group and explored ideas for the work.
The main (front) of the building depicts the pink/red brick houses of enderby and quarrymen returning home from work at the quarry, the background depicting the roads that the quarry stone was used to construct.
The right-hand side wall contains images of quarry trucks or 'hoppers' a competition was held for residents to create a design for the side of each truck which attracted entries from a wide age range. 
the left-hand wall depicts a 'frame knitter' at her loom using local wool to create products, it is inspired by an original image created by local artist Mary Sloane whose work featured at the Royal Academy.
