BUCKLEY TOWN HERITAGE TRAIL MURAL

This mural was created by pupils of Mountain Lane Primary School as part

of a commission to professional ceremic artist Neil Dalrymple. This has

resulted in a unique and vibrant piece of artwork. The mural depicts local

scenes in a three dimensional way and encapsulates the people, varied

landscape and proud industrial history of Buckley.

The Buckley Town Heritage Trail is a project that links the sites of the old

collieries, brickworks and potteries with the town centre and in particular the

library, where a large selection of photographs, documents and artefatcs can

be viewed in the upstairs museum. The project to extend the Heritage Trail

was developed by the Buckley Town Partnership and the work was carried

out by Groundwork (Wrexham and Flintshire) in conjunction with officers

from Buckley Town Council and Flintshire County Council.

The mural was unveiled jointly on 9th May 2011 by The Mayor of Buckley:

Councillor Ian Thomas and The Chairman of Flintshire County Council:

Councillor Owen Thomas.

The Buckley Town Heritage Trail leaflet can be obtained, free of charge,

from the Town Council Office, Buckley Library and tourist information

points throughout Flintshire and beyond. New information boards, direction

signs and waymarkers indicate the route.
