Elevation is gearing up for something incredible to celebrate North Shields’ 800th birthday! They’re turning key buildings into vibrant murals that capture the town’s history, quirks, and everything that makes it unique. Imagine walking through streets bursting with creativity and colour—it’s a feast for the eyes and the soul! The journey started with The Siren, an incredible mural by @prefab77_, now proudly displayed on the gable-end wall of the former Old Hundred Public House on Albion Terrace. Bold, stylish, and full of attitude, it’s just the beginning of what’s to come.
Why It Matters
This project isn’t just about beautifying the town (though it’s certainly doing that!). It’s about celebrating the people of North Shields—our history, our identity, and our future. These murals aim to bring pride, optimism, and fresh energy to the heart of the community.
