Shutter Art Project

Shutter Artwork Project 

In order to enhance the appearance of the area and complement the existing shopfront replacements along the high street, For Tyldesley are undertaking a shutter artwork project. This project is part of the Shopfront Enhancement Scheme, which is running until the end of the project in March 2024.  

The first shutter artwork project was part of the enhancement of Davina Pharmacy, as it was recognised that a pharmacy would not be able to remove their shutters due to high risk of theft. The artwork was designed and completed by a local artist (don’t know her name) who captured some of the key historic buildings in Tyldesley whilst also incorporating medicine bottles to represent the building’s use. In the evenings when the pharmacy is closed, the shutter artwork brings character and uniqueness to the high street.
