The mosaic was created by pupils of Deyes High School in liaison with the Maghull Station Volunteers & Merseyrail. Following a Tuesday morning presentation to U3A members by Les French (Chairman of the Hornby Trust), volunteers were invited to assist in the making of a mosaic panel with a Hornby theme, for mounting at Maghull station in recognition of Frank Hornby, a Maghull resident for most of his life. Deyes High successfully sought funding for the project and the work was recently completed, with a purpose made frame provided by Merseyrail for mounting adjacent to the MtoGO shop. The photograph illustrates the formal unveiling of the mosaic on Thursday 5th July by the Mayor & Mayoress of Maghull, Mr Steve and Mrs Gwen Kermode. Also present were Pauline Treanor, project teacher, with students from Deyes High and U3A members who played an important part in working with the students, namely Mary Prendergast, Bridget Wilson & Jo Healy. Also present were Steve Abernethy of Merseyrail, Marion Atkinson of Merseytravel plus other U3A members Eileen & Alan Pritchard, Joe McGivern & Ena Winchester & Nigel Winchester leader of the Maghull Station Volunteers.
