Several passers-by extended their thanks and took the opportunity to admire the latest installation in Art Box – an exhibition inspired by the book The Snail and the Whale courtesy of Year 2 pupils at St Paul’s Primary School.

Warming refreshments were provided by Holy Trinity church nearby.

The next tidy up event is on May 8 from 10.30am as part of The Big Help Out in celebration of the Coronation.

All are welcome.
