Thinking there was no chance of the sun, I went to this station purposely in order to obtain an even light image! However, the sun actually made an appearance but fortunately itdid not distract from the result!

"The final piece of the Prescot Gateway artwork has been installed at Prescot Railway station."
"The striking piece of public art has been positioned to provide a warm and inspiring welcome to visitors to the town and is part of a wider family of artwork. Three other eye-catching installations were fitted earlier this year on roundabouts leading into and out of the town."
"The piece at the station reflects Prescot’s industrial and craftsmanship past, including tool and watch making, pottery and mining, the well know British Insulate Wire Company/BICC and of course the towns links to Shakespeare through his connection to the Derby family."
Artist was Martin Herron.
This wall art, commissioned by Prescot Town Team in 2014, depicts an Elizabethan cockpit theatre of the sort that once stood in Prescot itself.
Edward Lear, the Victorian poet and artist, who came to Knowsley Hall to paint Lord Derby’s menagerie of animals, and wrote his famous nonsense poem ‘The Owl and the Pussycat’ there.
This was the reason for being at Prescot Station but given the uneven light it was difficult to select the correct position and this result was an early frame of the burst that I took. Not ideal or perfect! GBRf No 60076 rushes pass the station on 6F65 17:49 Ashton In Makerfield to Tuebrook Sidings e/jna's. 21st February 2023.
