Manchester Oxford Road will soon be getting a new mural on the outer walls of the former Screen One building.
Passengers will soon benefit from the visual makeover, which will celebrate the city’s cultural and musical heritage.
It will be visible from the station approach and Whitworth Street West, providing a new welcome to the city.
The mural is part of Network Rail’s placemaking and regeneration strategy and will be created by artists Nomad Clan, in partnership with Wild in Art.
The artwork will also be a part of the Music for the Senses trail, which runs from the 7th July until the 31st August, and is free to participants.
A celebration will take place to mark the transformation of the building and is expected to be completed by the 14th July.
“Oxford Road is one of Manchester’s most culturally significant streets, and the station lies at its heart. Through this initiative, we’re working with our brilliant partners to inject some Mancunian energy through art, to enhance the experience for the thousands of people and passengers who pass by every day and help give the city the welcome it deserves.
“It marks the start of a wider placemaking ambition to make our stations feel more connected to the people and places they serve. This project is a celebration of place, people, and creative collaboration.”
Rebecca Foy, regeneration and placemaking specialist for Network Rail
