Gallery: Eye-catching mural brings joy to Harrogate street
An artist has brought joy and a splash of colour to a town centre street with a huge mural dedicated to Harrogate as a gateway to the Yorkshire Dales.
Harrogate Business Improvement District (BID) is behind the eye-catching project on Cross James Street, between James Street and Market Place.
The painting is the work of Harrogate artist Sam Porter from Mural Minded. This latest piece features blue tits, fields and Crimple Valley Viaduct.
Last month, Sam created a ‘joyous’ wall mural on the side of a house in Cheapside, Knaresborough – featuring swallows and butterflies.

It’s not the only giant artwork set to give a Harrogate street a makeover. Last month Harrogate residents and businesses were asked to submit ideas to help give Cambridge Place a colourful makeover.
