Yorkshire railway posters reimagined for 200th anniversary

Young artists have created a series of travel posters in the style of historic railway adverts, inspired by Yorkshire destinations.

Students from Rotherham College, East Riding College, New College Pontefract, and Keighley College have created posters for their local stations, which will be seen by thousands of passengers.

Forty of the young artists from Rotherham unveiled their artworks during a ceremony on Thursday at Rotherham Central station.

Richard Lyon, curriculum team leader at Rotherham College, said working on the posters had been “a valuable and positive experience for our students”.
