Students at Cheshire College - South & West have marked Remembrance Day with a creative project, producing hand-designed poppies to line Nantwich Road near the college's Crewe campus.

The display honours those who have served in the Armed Forces and creates a striking public tribute for the local community.

The initiative was part of a collaborative partnership with Connecting Crewe BID and supported by Crewe Town Council.

Principal and CEO at Cheshire College, Jasbir Dhesi OBE said: "We are incredibly proud of our Visual Arts students for creating such a meaningful tribute.

"It is wonderful to see our students using their creativity to make a real difference in the heart of Crewe."

Lecturer in Visual Arts at Cheshire College, Kirsty Pettengell, said: "The poppy illustrations are exceptional, demonstrating both individuality and a strong sense of purpose.

"Each student brought their own unique style while meeting the brief with professionalism and creativity.

"I am immensely proud of how well the students have embraced the project and the quality of their final designs, which are on public display across Crewe as part of the town's Remembrance Day commemorations."

The project highlights Cheshire College's commitment to community engagement, providing students with practical experience in creativity, design, and project planning while strengthening local partnerships that enrich Crewe and celebrate important cultural events.

Graham Saunders, Chair of Crewe BID and General Manager of South Cheshire Glass, said: "Remembrance has always meant a lot to people in Crewe, and this display is a wonderful tribute from the next generation.

"The students have created something that brings art, respect and community together, and they should be really proud of what they have achieved."
