Unused window-spaces at a train station have been brightened up with photos of local landmarks, as part of improvements costing £30,000.
The money, which came from West Midlands Railway, was also used to fit a kitchen, replace signs, plant flowers and refurbish storage rooms at Wellington Station in Shropshire.
The Windows on Wellington project challenged local photographers to come up with images of well-known Wellington views to form the window displays.
Kath Howard from The Friends of Wellington Station said the grant had made a "huge difference".
She said the window photos "really brighten up the platform and show people what a great town Wellington is, hopefully encouraging people to get off the train and visit our town".
Sally Themans of Love Wellington said they were a "perfect advertisement of all that Wellington and the surrounding area has to offer".
