    I love these murals that have been popping up around stations.
    I was taken aback by my local one as Mrs Plum and I enjoy a walk to Manor House Gardens and especially the birds that inhabit the pond there and it's surrounds, and at the western end of the pond there are a couple of Willow trees in which about 6 Herons live.
    They are simply beautiful, usually perched up high, or darting their long beaks into the water, or walking around on their spindly legs. When they take off and fly it is an awesome sight.
    Anyway the mural at Lee Station has, you guessed it, a Heron as it's centrepiece, maybe the artist(s) are as fond of Manor House Gardens and/or Herons as we are.

    Absolutely awsome
    Wonderful touch with the seb 1076
    He would have loved this piece
    Great to see the museum fund this magnificent piece instead of usually wasting the hard earned funds on range rovers!🤣
    Once again awsome cant wait to see it

    A great legacy project funded by donations from fans to the museum.

    It looks incredible on a sunny evening as the red just catches the sun nicely. Brilliant work by Ben and the museum team, also Network Rail who gave it their full backing.
    Yes Network Rail were great.

    Why no badge? Was it a copyright issue?

    No,we could have got permission if we'd wanted and it was an option but we discussed and decided to keep the design very simple.

    If we had permission and a good design, we would raise £5k in a fortnight.
