Passengers and visitors to Manchester Oxford Road station will soon be greeted by a striking new mural, part of an exciting visual makeover celebrating the city’s rich cultural and musical heritage.
The first stage of the initiative will see the outer walls of the former Screen One building brought to life with vibrant artwork, designed to reflect Manchester’s identity as a hub of music, travel, and community. The mural will be highly visible from station approach and Whitworth Street West, offering a bold new welcome to the city.
Created by internationally renowned street artists Nomad Clan, in partnership with Wild in Art, a global leader in public art trails, the project is part of Network Rail’s wider placemaking and regeneration strategy. It aims to enhance the passenger experience, support local pride, and lay the groundwork for future investment in Manchester’s transport hubs.
Ben Reed, head of creative development at Wild in Art, said: “We’re thrilled to be working with Network Rail to bring this creative vision to life. Art in public spaces has the power to inspire, connect, and transform – and this mural will be a bold celebration of Manchester’s musical and cultural legacy.”
