Mayor of Crewe, Councillor Dawn Clark, was there to watch special artwork produced by the Cheshire Buddies group unveiled at Crewe rail station.

Various pieces of art, including a giant mural made from recycled materials featuring Crewe's rich heritage, were unveiled at a special ceremony on Platform 12.

Local community artist, Sue Guildford-Potts of Junk Art Creations, helped the youngsters to do the artwork which took four months to complete.

The talented artist helped put together designs for a giant mural, a mosiac and other artwork working with Cheshire Buddies – celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. 

"It was an exciting project and I'm thrilled with the results," said Sue, whose Facebook page is here
