New community murals celebrate Goldthorpe’s heritage


STATIC held an open painting day in April so people could contribute to a piece called The Stories on the side of the library in the square.

A spray paint art workshop at Goldthorpe Pentecostal Community Church and a drop-in session at the Snap-Tin Cafe were also held to gather people’s views.

Matthew Stephens, chair of Goldthorpe Town Board, said: “STATIC have done a great job bringing the fantastic vision for the murals to life with help from everyone who came along to the community painting day.

“It really adds extra colour and vibrance to Horse and Groom Square at the heart of Goldthorpe.”

Beam, a cultural organisation which works across the north of England, also contributed to the project which was commissioned by Barnsley Council.

A council spokesperson said the pieces were part of a package of major artwork projects under way in the Dearne area, funded by the Goldthorpe Town Deal.
