‘Welcome Home’ by Jo Peel

Huyton

The mural depicts the buildings of Huyton Village, including the old Mayfair cinema. Trees and plants symbolise new growth and new residents who have laid down roots in the area. Throughout the artwork there are nods to stories of family businesses and generations working together.

Produced by community arts organisation Heart of Glass and commissioned by Knowsley Council, the mural has been developed through conversations with the local community and is inspired by the ongoing evolution of Huyton Village and the growth and journeys of its residents.

Jo Peel, the artist behind the mural, is known internationally for her bold illustrative designs which tell the story of forgotten buildings in urban spaces. Her work can be seen in Brazil, Poland and Japan and in UK cities such as London, Bristol, Sheffield and Leeds.
