Creative volunteers are planning to transform a historic building’s lavatory into the Loo-vre after they painted tiles to form a mural.

Artist Julie Bradshaw and about 12 other helpers painted around 20 different sections to the display at Sheerness Heritage Centre.

It depicts a Sheerness seaside of yesteryear, complete with beach huts and donkey rides. It is hoped it will eventually be put up in the toilets.

The project was part of the BBC’s Get Creative project which saw activities happening across the UK.

The Grade II listed building is due to be relaunched this spring as Rose Street Cottage Museum after it was handed over to Big Fish Arts earlier this month.

It will eventually go into the control of the organisers of the Sheppey Promenade Festival.

Chris Reed, of Big Fish Arts, said she has been amazed at the response from members of the public following an open day at the site in Rose Street, Sheerness, on February 14.

She said: “Volunteers turned up all day long, offering to do things from helping to redecorate to doing the displays when we get going and helping in the museum.”
