Cleator Moor mural project inspired by great British artists

A street artist who has created five murals inspired by five Great British artists says it is an "honour" to be part of a Cumbrian community.

Angry Dan's latest work is influenced by Cleator Moor's "historic importance as a location for artistic inspiration".

Each mural celebrates the work of William Wordsworth, JMW Turner, Beatrix Potter, John Ruskin and LS Lowry - with an original limerick painted on each piece of art.

The 38-year-old from Walthamstow, east London, carried out a series of limerick-writing workshops during his time in the town.
