Fairways Car Derby
We had a fantastic time with the Fairways service users decorating remote controlled cars then racing them around St Marys Church in Stanwell. This will feed into the mural and documentary we are doing as part of The Stanwell Project.
Year 6 mural workshop
Photos from Town Farm Primary School’s Year 6 mural workshop, Sat 9th May.
Speed tests
Photos from the grand unveiling – racing the customised remote controlled cars. Not even Boyd’s cheap batteries which lasted 15 minutes at top speed could spoil the day.
Animal cut-outs
Animal painting madness and serious marker missions – a selection of photos from the final workshop with years 1, 2 and 3 at Town Farm Primary School who are creating animal cut-outs for the animal mural.
Custom Cars

Uncovering Stanwell
We’re very grateful to Jean, from the Stanwell Women’s Institute, who has sent us these historic photos of St Mary’s Church (from 1912 and 1953) and Stanwell Green, as well as a great set of photos of Henry Lintott’s shop.
Stanwell Christmas Mural
The village of Stanwell near Heathrow Airport is about to be disrupted by the demolition of temporary World War II houses and their replacement with new homes fit for the 21st Century. Artists Luke and Boyd from Signal Project were asked to paint a Christmas mural by A2Dominion Group for the local community. Their idea was to create something that was a living artwork in the community, something personal, based on stories and suggestions from the community.
