Poole underpass receives ‘nutty’ mural makeover
Poole BID has commissioned a new mural by a local artist to give a stunning makeover to the underpass by Poole Bus Station.
The underpass between Poole Bus Station and The Lighthouse, Poole, has received a stunning mural makeover courtesy of a local artist commissioned by Poole BID.
The first half of the mural has now been revealed, with the other half due to by completed by May. One half of the tunnel is dedicated to Poole’s local history and heritage, while the other showcases the area’s diverse wildlife. This includes the red squirrel, symbolic of nearby Brownsea Island, that has now been revealed.
Poole BID commissioned the artwork with support from a Town Centre Improvement Fund Grant from BCP Council. The grants are intended to enhance the vitality and attractiveness of the region’s town centres.
Jacqui Rock, CEO of Poole BID, said: “This mural is a fantastic way to celebrate Poole’s unique heritage and stunning natural environment. We’re thrilled to see such a positive response already, and we know this will become a landmark for both residents and visitors.
“Public art has the power to transform spaces, and this project is a great example of how we can enhance our town centre while supporting local artists. Huge thanks to BCP Council for their funding support and to Tech Moon for bringing this vision to life.”
The creator behind the mural is local artist Tech Moon. The artist said: “I’m incredibly excited to be working on this project and bringing a bold, creative vision to Poole’s underpass.
“The mural is designed to reflect both the history and nature of this amazing area, creating an immersive experience for those who pass through. Seeing the positive reaction so far has been inspiring, and I can’t wait for people to experience the full piece once it’s completed.”
