Artwork featuring Harry Styles has been unveiled at Holmes Chapel railway station.
The work is one of several to be installed at the station that celebrate the village and surrounding area.
The stunning piece in tribute to Harry Styles was created by local artists Eamonn Murphy and Victoria Holland.
The international pop star, actor and songwriter features alongside local landmarks such as St Luke’s Church and Hermitage Bridge.
Craig Harrop, regional director for Northern, said:
“Artwork that pays tribute to a local area – or in this case, a very famous former resident – is always a welcome addition to a station.
“This new artwork adds to the station’s personality and charm and will no doubt prove very popular with Harry Styles fans visiting the village.”
Peter Whiers, chair of Holmes Chapel Partnership that led on the creation of the artwork, commented:
“Eamonn and Victoria are both incredibly talented local artists and we are delighted with how they have brought our vision for this mural to life.
"This new installation not only honours Harry Styles and the impact his global success has had on our community but also enhances the station and creates a colourful new welcome to the village.”
In 2024, one of Northern’s employees (Graham Blake) was nominated for a National Rail Award for his work with Holmes Chapel Partnership to help ‘Stylers’ (fans of the singer Harry Styles) when visiting the musician’s hometown.
Northern is the second largest train operator in the UK, with 2,500 services a day to more than 500 stations across the North of England.
