THE subway linking Poole railway station with the town centre has been revamped with murals designed by a local university alumna.
Fay Troote was one of four graduates from the BA Illustration course at Arts University Bournemouth invited to develop proposals for a ‘family’ of murals to brighten the subway and communicate a sense of identity for the Townside area of Poole.
Her winning designs include a depiction of Poole Pottery, the RNLI and the wildlife of Holes Bay.
Gary Powell, head of engineering at BCP Council, said: “We’re really pleased to be able to work with local university students at the same time as revitalising a key public link to Poole town centre.
"Fay’s work not only highlights important parts of Poole’s heritage but also brightens up what has otherwise been a drab subway in need of a refresh.”
