Colours of Manor Park
About: Manor Park Library Façade Mural
The Manor Park Library Façade Mural brings colour and life to the building and makes it more welcoming for everyone.
The mural is a large text-based design across the front of the library. It uses bold colours and strong lettering to stand out and reflect the energy of the area.
The words in the mural come from local people. Residents shared their thoughts, feelings, and experiences of Manor Park, and these have been turned into the artwork.
This means the mural is not just decoration - it is the community speaking. It shows what Manor Park means to the people who live and work here.
Created with residents and local groups, the mural celebrates the area’s identity and helps people feel seen, heard, and proud of their neighbourhood.

It also reflects community groups, youth organisations, and Skylarks, recognising the people and spaces that shape Manor Park.
