Local commissions celebrate the England midfielder’s roots to encourage girls in sport.

Overview

  • A large mural on the side of Stollers furniture store in Barrow overlooks Holker Street, with the store planning a formal reveal today.
  • Ulverston artist Chris Dorning of Still Life created the Barrow piece, depicting Stanway celebrating in an England kit against a St George’s flag.
