A new street art project has been unveiled in Harrogate.
The mural, which has been funded by Harrogate Business Improvement District, has been painted on Cheltenham Road close to the town’s Jubilee car park.
Local artist Tom Tommings is behind the work, which is designed to welcome people into the town centre.
The street art includes the phrase “Welcome to Harrogate”, with each letter representing a well-known aspect of the town and its heritage – including spa waters, wellbeing, floral, afternoon tea and Harrogate Town Football Club.
Bethany Allen, operations and projects executive at Harrogate BID, said:
We’re very pleased to deliver yet another street art project to spruce up our town centre and ensure it remains a must-visit destination.
We know just how important creating the best possible first impression is and artwork installations such as this are essential in doing so, so enhancing areas that require improvement is a priority for us.
We continue to take pride in our place and work hard to maintain Harrogate’s reputation as the jewel in Yorkshire’s crown.
