There are over 20 lanes and alleyways in our town, many dating back to pre-famine times. Over the next few years we will work with local artists, historians and community groups to research and depict the history of these ancient lanes, and create a sustainable living history of our town that will remain visible for generations to come.
Following on from our initial mural, at Coppinger’s Lane in 2023, come across the road to the Ludgate Hub/Horse and Hound Alleyway to see Iris De Vries create number 2.
