Read all about how, with support from Middlesbrough Council's Creative Places programme, we've been able to extend and build on the WE SHALL BE murals along Wilson Street underneath the A66.

We're really pleased with the new series of artworks created by artists Nick Blaney and Nic Golightly - informed by the heritage and communities of Middlesbrough.
