Eastcote Railway Bridge is for many the first thing they see as they exit the station or drive down Field End Road. The bridge itself has for many years been a cause of concern to local residents and shop keepers alike who feel it is a real eyesore. Over the past couple of years graffiti and the weather have all contributed to its deterioration leaving the bridge itself in need of some serious TLC.

Cavendish Safer Neighbourhoods Team saw a real opportunity to improve the appearance of the local area whilst attempting to reduce crime at the same time. The talented pupils from Newnham School situated in Newnham Avenue just around the corner from the bridge proved to be the ideal designers for the new artwork that was to be placed onto the completed bridge.

The final design was shown to the Railway Bridge Consultative Committee. The committee was made up from strategic members who all had a vested interest in the bridge. The committee’s job was to drive the project forward and they did just that, having met up several times over the duration of the project that has taken 23 months to date.

Cavendish Safer Neighbourhoods Team, TFL/Metronet and Newnham School is now proud to present the final design that incorporates the efforts and commitment of many peoples hard work over the past few years.
