The streets of Peterborough have become a lot more colourful and vibrant in the last couple of years thanks in part to one man.
Renowned street artist Nathan Murdoch, who runs Street Arts Hire Ltd, and who has collaborated with several local artists, has spent the last couple of years transforming the city with his stunning murals.
Nathan has shot to both local and international fame because of his works that almost everyone in the city will have seen.
Here we take a look at Nathan’s latest creations from the last couple of years.
1. Cowgate mural

2. A message of hope
A mural conveying a message of hope and positivity was created on the outdoor wall space on Westgate’s Megabite takeaway. It depicts a young child looking despondent within a barren landscape with a large snowdrop in the distance.The sky transitions into blue and then there is an oversized snowdrop: a flower that represents hope.
