An eye-catching cityscape mural has been revealed in Norwich city centre on Pottergate in the latest chapter of Norwich Business Improvement District (BID)'s City of Stories project.
The Norwich Lanes are alive with colour as the Tesco Metro loading bay has been transformed with a quirky design by Norfolk-based illustrator Julia Allum.
The latest mural is inspired by Art Deco travel posters and features Norwich landmarks and local scenes.
Ms Allum said: 'Norwich BID's mural project is a wonderful idea, it brightens up the city and it's a great way to showcase local artists' work.
'There is such a wealth of talent in the city so I was stunned, yet delighted, when I heard one of my designs had been chosen.'
