As a memento of our town, you can have your own copy of this unique work. We have had a small run of postcards printed, which are 594mm x 100mm and concertina fold down to fit into a DL envelope. We will be selling these cards at the museum during the Art Trail.
They are reasonably priced at £2.40 each and they are also available through this website, plus P&P, by emailing tracy@burnhamarttrail.co.uk Please use “Panorama” as your subject. A percentage of the profits will go towards funding Burnham Art Trail 2012.

| Drill Hall Site Mosaics |
|
|
| As part of your trail make sure you visit the new memorial garden at the Drill Hall site, next to the clock tower. In collaboration with Burnham Town Council and St Peters High School, Glynnis Dye has designed 5 mosaics. These form part of the memorial garden for John Smith, then mayor of Burnham and leader of Maldon District Council, |
|
 |
his wife Angela, and daughter Jacqueline, who died tragically in a plane crash in 2007.
The gardens were designed by St Peters High School students 5 years ago, as part of a community project and the mosaics have been made by Wings students in a series of workshops led by Glynnis. The gardens have been designed to represent the historic industries and environment of the town, with the mosaics representing the flora and fauna found in the River Crouch.
The site, next to the clock tower in the old market square, is an historic one dating back to 1595. The town well, which was known as 'Juers Well' is located beneath. |
