An “eyesore” near a busy A-road has been transformed into a nature-inspired mural.<\/p>\n
Sarah Harris spent 19 days during this summer’s heatwaves painting the artwork by the side of the A419 near Cricklade in Wiltshire. <\/p>\n
During her project, she was visited by dozens of residents including 90-year-old Eric Cripps, Cricklade’s town crier who attended in full regalia to spur her on.<\/p>\n
Harris said she has been overwhelmed by the response, adding: “I think because the Cricklade\/Latton area doesn’t have any murals of this scale, this one really caught the attention of people who live close to it.”<\/p>\n
Resident Stuart Harrison photographed the finished mural and said Harris had done a “fantastic job” transforming the “eyesore” barn, which had previously been covered in graffiti.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An “eyesore” near a busy A-road has been transformed into a nature-inspired mural.
