Hospital to get three nature-inspired murals

Funding for the murals was provided by donations to the Oncology Trust Fund

An artist is creating a series of nature-inspired murals to add colour to the outside of a hospital.

Curtis Hylton rolled up his sleeves to commence spray painting three large art works on the walls of the MRU and Radiotherapy Unit at Hereford County Hospital.

The new creations are said to celebrate Herefordshire's "natural beauty" and will feature apple blossoms, robins, kingfishers and woodpeckers. Work to create them began on Monday.

Funding for the murals was provided by donations to the Oncology Trust Fund, which supports enhancements that benefit patients and staff beyond essential service delivery needs.

The post on the Wye Valley NHS Trust's Facebook page said passers-by wanting to watch the progress would be welcome to during the next couple of weeks.
