A new mural for Howden
Howden Minster was recently the scene
of an exhibition of work done by students of Hull College School of Art
and Design. Howden Town Forum is working towards the installation of a
new mural in the town and the College students had been asked to put
forward ideas. The Forum was delighted that so many members of the
public took the time and trouble to attend the exhibition and would
like to thank them for their comments. As a result of the opinions
given, four designs have now been selected The results are here on the Howden Town Forum pages.
The Howden Town Forum 'Working towards the regeneration of Howden' holds regular meetings with the next one being Thurs 11th September 7.30pm.
Everyone is welcome at the Forum meetings which are held upstairs at the Wellington Hotel. To find out more check out the forum pages.........
