Crewe mural - Royal Arcade walkway (1)

Wistaston youngsters have helped create a stencilled mural along the main walkway of the Royal Arcade in Crewe town centre.

The walkway connects Queensway to the bus station and had been vandalised with graffiti.

Local teenager Sean Moulton brought its plight to the attention of property developers Redefine International.

Drawings by pupils from Wistaston Church Lane Academy have been used on the mural.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
