kELzO was invited by Northern’s station management team to paint the footbridge after seeing his artwork on platform one in 2018.

kELzO said “I wanted the mural to act as a noticeboard for visitors to learn about St Helens, it clearly has a lot of history to be proud of.  I think it has brought a bit of fun to what was a grey, bland footbridge. It’s something nice for people to enjoy and pass the time while they’re waiting for a train.”

Chris Jackson, Regional Director at Northern said “I’d like to say a huge thank you to the very talented kELzO, who has meticulously captured the ‘essence’ of St. Helens in the art that now has pride-of-place on the footbridge at the station. As well as complementing our broader station improvement strategy, his stunning work also has a real depth of meaning – something for everyone in the community to embrace, enjoy and be proud of.”
