This map shows the location of the Ritchings Avenue bridge. The western panels have been decorated with a 'Jungle and Lake' scene by year 1. An 'Under the Ocean' theme was painted by year 2 on the eastern panels.
The picture (left) shows the western set of panels on the Ritchings Avenue bridge. Even on a rainy day it brightens up the street.
Here is a detail of the jungle scene panels. The imagination of the young children has been harnessed to produce a vibrant colourful menagerie of wild animals.
A view of the eastern panels depicting animals that might be found in the ocean - plus a fair few mermaids, divers and submarines.
A close up showing a blue whale with barnacles on his belly chasing an unfortunate fish.
More detail of the ocean theme panels. The girls added quite a few mermaids swimming amongst the fishes whilst the boys seemed to prefer divers & submarines.
