Work has resumed on the Billinton Hill mural https://eastcroydon.org.uk/2026/01/16/work-will-restart-on-the-wildflower-mural-on-billinton-hill-soon-weather-permitting-croydon/. Yvonne Tran (above) has almost completed her stretch of the wall. She can only paint on some days at the weekends when the weather is fine. If you see her painting, you can give her a hand.

Sadly Ruthie Maketa could not continue working on the project. However, local artist Chris Shea has agreed to paint that part of the wall nearest the station entrance. You may have seen Chris’ wall paintings of a young boy watering a rainbow that he created to raise money for medical charities during lockdown https://www.standard.co.uk/culture/street-artist-nhs-rainbow-boy-state-of-the-art-a4419871.html.
