One or two of you have mentioned the mural here. I'd like to know more about the mural which was painted by Barbara Mildred Jones - an artist who also designed The Woddentops BBC series sets. I'd like to know more about her intentions in putting the image together for the school - what she saw was being communicated in the imagery. I'd also like to find out who decided to cover it over and when that happened.

the mural was fire damaged after the fire in the old libary in the early 1990,s it would have cost the school too much to get it restored so they boxed it in behind a paster board wall untill the new school was biult . im corrently trying to find out if the mural was saved or destroyed this is as much as i know

if i find out any thing i,ll let you know

has I said earlier, I spoke with Barbara, and yes I got the name wrong, it is Jones not Hepwoth.

At the time she told me she was a friend of Mr Clayton (Headmaster) and that they had studied together or know each other from University. The murel was of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Barbara's take on this was something like this:- we the pupils were at the start of our lives, just as the mural depicted the beginning of life. Barbara attempted to explain about the paint she was using and how it was made, she also explained about brush strokes and colour. I also remember she had a miniture painting of the whole mural which she did before coming into the school and was working from this minuture, explaining that this is the way murals are done.

Hope this helps Cathy
