New mural enhances Kings Langley station thanks to London Northwestern Railway
A brand-new mural has been installed at Kings Langley station, thanks to funding by London Northwestern Railway (LNR).
The mural depicts Pope Adrian IV (1100 – 1159), who was head of the Catholic Church for the final five years of his life. Although little is known about his early life, is it rumoured that Pope Adrian IV, England’s only Pope, was born locally in Hertfordshire.
Part funded by local business Imagination Technologies and London Northwestern Railway, graffiti artist Mark Tanti from Demograffix designed the mural which also features an historic depiction of a steam train at the station.
Vicky Cropper-Clarke, LNR community strategy manager, said:
“This wonderful artwork by Mark Tanti has added a new dynamic to Kings Langley station which passengers travelling through can enjoy.
“The artwork was part-funded by London Northwestern Railway’s station adoption scheme, which offers local individuals and groups the opportunity to enhance their local station.”
Mark Tanti, Demograffix graffiti artist, said:
“I would like to thank Imagination Technologies and London Northwestern Railway for giving me the opportunity to design the mural at Kings Langley station.
“People travelling through the station can now see the artwork in all its glory as they commute to work or head on their leisurely travels.”
