Terrace Enders
Commissioned by Hull City of Culture 2017, two new Hessle Road murals created lasting monuments for the area's rich fishing industry history.
Collaborating with Belfast-based street artist Kev Largey, Lydia helped paint the 17-metre tall fisherman on the side of Halfway pub, remembering the lives of those that never came home. Located at the top of Hessle Road, the mural was one of two as part of Goodwin Development Trust’s Terrace Enders project, painted by Irish muralists Mark Ervine and Kev Largey, and Hull-based artists Andy Pea, Lydia Caprani and Sharon Darley across two weeks during Hull 2017’s Roots & Routes season.
