The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
Artwork in chalk has been created in Spalding town centre as part of an arts and heritage project.
Led by Liz Kelleher, head of art at Spalding High School, the event is the start of a chalk trail.
A new community arts and heritage project aims to celebrate and promote the town’s riverside.
